How we work

A tailor-made process: define, design, deliver, follow-up.

Every expedition follows the same four steps. The community is yours, the structure is ours.

01

Define

We clarify your community’s goals, participant profile and the ecosystem you want to explore.

02

Design

We build the itinerary, visits, research center stops and BtoB meetings, and manage logistics or hand them to you.

03

Deliver

On location, typically over three business days, we run the program and facilitate every meeting.

04

Follow-up

A debrief with each contact to capture insights and next steps for possible contracts and partnerships.

Common questions

Before you reach out.

Who is a Learning Expedition for?

Clusters and innovation communities that want to bring a cross-section of their members, startups, corporates, universities, research centers and other stakeholders, to see another ecosystem firsthand.

How is the destination chosen?

Based on your objectives: which technologies, sectors or practices you want to explore, and which European ecosystem is currently leading on them.

Do you handle logistics and accommodation?

We can, or your organization can manage it directly. Travel, accommodation and meals are discussed and scoped together depending on the option you choose.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the group size, duration and destination. Contact us with your community’s profile and we’ll scope it together.
