North America

With offices in California, Boston, Washington DC and Toronto, we have been helping American and Canadian companies go global since 2003.

We also work with Asian and European companies to enter and expand in the American market.

North America is the world’s largest market and key to the success of many Asian and European companies.

It is also home to the world’s largest tech ecosystem, with startups in hubs like Silicon Valley, Boston and Toronto leading the way in core areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cleantech, mobility, semiconductors, software, medical devices and biotech.

In addition, the key economies in Latin America – foremost Brazil – offer significant potential as both B2B and B2C markets. Through our partners on the ground, we can help you explore the opportunities and execute your market entry strategy.

Whether you’re a large corporate seeking to collaborate with or invest in American startups, a scaling tech company seeking to enter the market, or a government agency looking to grow your exports or attract inward investment, we can help you.

We announced our collaboration with a US firm Verusen within three months of Intralink delivering their results. It was only possible thanks to their speedy work and excellent support.

Client stories

Business alliance opportunity

NTT Data Global Solutions is a leading SAP provider in Japan with digital transformation and information technology services worldwide as part of NTT DATA Group, and was looking for a potential partner that could strengthens and optimises NTT's SAP services.

Intralink identified over 30 US-based startups that fit the criteria with a funnel scouting approach tailored to the client's specific challenges. Through direct interviews, we analysed and evaluated each company's solutions and suitability for NTT DATA GSL and delivered final selections of companies as their potential partners.

We then assisted a direct meeting between NTT DATA and Verusen, a U.S. company that provides AI-based inventory and supply chain management optimisation solutions, to facilitate smooth communication and negotiations towards a commercial collaboration. As a result, they managed to announce their new business alliance only in three months since the initial contact.
