THE GLOBAL EDDIES

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Mentoring, Connections & Local Ecosystem

Integration Preparation

The Global Eddies is an Integrator Program, designed to facilitate the soft-land or hard-launch of international startups and SMEs into the Innovation Ecosystem of the Northeast U.S. The program offers incoming companies the opportunity to meet local ecosystem representatives, get a sense of how different constituents work together to grow the innovation economy, shed light on accounting, legal, immigration and human talent issues and offer the best preparation possible to meet the demands of a vast but complicated market.
