As a London-based growth studio, Next Big Thing (NBT) is passionate about contributing to global growth. That's why we are proud to be part of the Mayor's International Business Programme, organised by London & Partners, the business growth and destination agency for London.
The Mayor's International Business Programme is a support program that provides London-based companies with the tools, resources, and networks they need to expand globally.
The program offers a range of services, including mentorship, business networks, trade missions, and market research, to high-growth businesses in sectors, like tech, life sciences, creative industries, and urban innovation. To be eligible for the program, companies must have the potential to scale internationally.
The Mayor's International Business Programme has helped hundreds of London-based companies to expand internationally and has played a crucial role in positioning London as a leading global business hub.
London & Partners organises the Mayor's International Business Programme. London & Partners' mission is to foster resilient, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. They promote London across the globe, drawing in international organisations, events, and visitors to the capital.
The organisation supports international and domestic businesses in high-growth sectors to scale through its investment, trade, growth, and innovation programs. It also helps to develop London as a world-class destination and grow its global reputation to support economic growth.
London & Partners reinvests in its economic growth by creating partnerships and profit-making ventures.
NBT’s participation in the Mayor's International Business Programme has allowed us to share our passion for growth and innovation with others, and we look forward to continuing to support the growth of London-based companies and beyond.
Our passion for entrepreneurship and supporting startups, SMEs, and other companies with business development strategies and best practices align with the programme's goals.
Recently, our founder Dr. Eren Koçyiğit facilitated a workshop on Growth Marketing for Global Expansion as part of the program. During the workshop, we discussed various business strategies that can be employed to effectively reach international audiences through a combination of owned, paid, and earned media channels.
Our attendees gained valuable insights on leveraging each of these channels to their advantage and expanding their reach. By exploring each approach's nuances, they were able to identify which tactics would be most effective for specific scenarios and goals.
We're passionate about being a driving force for the companies that seek the next big thing by sharing our expertise in growth marketing and business strategy.
As a member of the city's business community, we inspire others to pursue the global growth mindset, believing that innovation and collaboration are crucial to success.
If you are ready to reshape your progress by adopting a growth mindset, feel free to reach out and let's join forces. Together, we can take big steps toward success.
