The Going Global Program
The Global program, evolved from SBE Australia's flagship Springboard Enterprise program, is designed for high growth companies looking to scale internationally or into new international markets in the next 6-18 months.
Together with a team of growth experts, you’ll take a deep dive into your company, assessing strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for development and expansion. After this initial assessment, we’ll build your personal, hand-picked expert advisory team who are committed to supporting you through your next stage of growth.
At the completion of the program you’ll join our esteemed Global alumnae program and network. You'll have access to regular masterclasses and workshops and a global community of world-class entrepreneurs (many of whom are household names), investors and business development professionals committed to supporting entrepreneurial businesses and the women who lead them.
"The evidence shows that when women are adequately funded and have access to supportive networks they perform well. In fact, they outperform. This program creates an environment that builds confidence, knowledge and connections that is life changing for women entrepreneurs and their business."
Topaz Conway, Chair Emeritus, SBE Australia
