Evidence of success
Since January 2018, 67 enterprises have registered in the XPORT ACCELERATOR. In less than six months, 46% of them have made an appointment with a referent from the XPORT ACCELERATOR to discuss their internationalisation project. The XPORT ACCELERATOR represents an opportunity for already exporting Norman enterprises to boost their businesses on the international market: 81% of the registered enterprises already export and have acknowledged the added value for them to join the XPORT ACCELERATOR.
Potential for learning or transfer
The main regional entities in charge of the economic development and of the internationalisation of Norman companies gathered to mobilize their resources to create an accelerator of exportation aiming at facilitating the implementation of Norman enterprises on foreign markets. The idea behind this accelerator is veritably to be able to mobilise regional resources to accompany and help local businesses export their products or technologies abroad. The potential for transfer can be emphasized because the bodies that created the accelerator exist or have an equivalent in most European regions. They are likely to have the same resources at their disposal to be able to implement an accelerator to facilitate the international development of SMEs and encourage them to export their business. The outcomes of the accelerator will benefit to local companies and by extension, to the regional economy as the exportation of local businesses will increase the visibility of the regional know-how abroad
