02 Global Startup Scouting

Our Scouting & Ecosystem Approach →
03 Evaluation & Selection
We support evaluation and shortlisting to identify the best-fit teams and technologies.
Acceleration & Market Entry Programmes
We design and deliver structured programmes that support startups and scaleups in entering new markets, building commercial traction, and engaging with corporates and investors.
Our programmes combine preparation, real-world exposure, and ongoing support.
Conference-Linked Market Entry Programmes
We design and deliver international market entry programmes built around leading global tech events, enabling startups to access new markets through structured preparation and on-the-ground execution.
Examples include eMerge Americas (Miami), Smart City Summit & Expo (Taipei), We Make Future (Italy), and other major industry gatherings.
These programmes typically combine:
- Pre-event preparation (market entry, sales, outreach, networking, fundraising)
- Participation in international tech events
- Curated 1:1 meetings with corporates, partners, and investors
- Ecosystem immersion and networking
- Post-event business development and follow-up support
From Programme to Pilot
We support the transition from programme participation to real-world adoption by helping startups and partners define pilot opportunities and move toward implementation.
Pilot co-financing is delivered via iScale Ventures.

iScale Hub provided great support to our alumni during our Bootcamp. Their task was to prepare the startups for their international expansion and help them in fundraising. The workshops were value-focused and well presented, and they helped the attendees to understand the key concepts. The mentoring sessions were tailor-made but also encouraged peer-to-peer learning if it was possible. They created strong connections with the teams, everyone could approach them with questions openly and freely – even after the programme. Both, the students, and the organisers were happy with the performance iScaleHub, therefore I strongly recommend them for similar initiatives.
This was my first time collaborating with iScale Hub to recruit international startups, and I was amazed by their execution as the achievement rate reached 166%!
Working with iScale was a meaningful experience for us. They created meaningful connections with partners who shared our vision. Their scouting support was outstanding, helping us discover the winning team for this year’s Mobileheroes. iScale isn’t just a partner; they’re a trusted bridge connecting the European and Taiwanese startup worlds.
Tamas offered an insightful and extremely useful session to our students and alumni on where to begin with sales. He framed the session so that attendees could walk away with actionable tasks to move their businesses forward.
The collaboration with iScale Hub exceeded expectations, as Technion recognised the significant potential for synergies between the two organisations. In addition to the top-notch training delivered, it was a pleasure to work with iScale Hub within the consortium. They consistently demonstrated their commitment by being readily available, supplying high-quality materials, and granting access to their extensive network, which collectively contributed to the success of the consortium. Their expertise and professionalism have made a lasting impact on our collaborative efforts."
The ScaleBridge Miami program went way beyond our expectations. The organizers delivered a very high-quality and comprehensive experience. These are the kinds of programs that shape the future.
iScale Hub was instrumental for us in designing and delivering a practical European market entry bootcamp as part of the 'Go CEE' programme. Their workshops and advisory sessions on international expansion, B2B sales, and fundraising equipped Taiwanese startups with the knowledge and strategies to succeed at European conferences and beyond.
Through the RISE programme, our collaboration with iScale Hub in international expansion, sales, and fundraising provided invaluable support to local SMEs. Their practical workshops and advisory sessions were met with overwhelmingly positive feedback, and they contributed to the growth potential of the participating West Sussex businesses.
As part of our URBAN TECH (H2020) project, we invited iScale Hub to lead a workshop on one of the most challenging aspects of sales: acquisition. The workshop addressed the key obstacles that salespeople face daily and provided our start-ups with a practical guide to overcoming these challenges. Using a mix of sales tools and best practices, they offered clear, actionable advice on everything from identifying ideal B2B customers to crafting an effective outreach strategy. The insights provided were directly applicable and had a significant impact on our teams' approach to prospecting.
iScale Hub helped us to educate our researchers about entrepreneurship in a way that was specifically designed for people from science-heavy backgrounds. We later decided to involve the knowledge transfer office as actually, the officers could benefit a lot from understanding more about this segment of innovation management, especially in sales and corporate collaboration strategies..
iScale Hub's involvement in the GEF programme was truly exceptional. Their presenters delivered highly engaging and informative sessions, which left our participants with a wealth of knowledge and actionable insights. The mentoring sessions were incredibly beneficial, offering tailored advice and guidance to help each business navigate the complexities of international sales and fundraising. I 100% recommend iScale Hub for similar initiatives.
As responsible for the incubation area at the University of Beira Interior, I selected some of the startups in the seed stage to participate in an entrepreneurial school on the scope of a European project, with iScale Hub, Tamas and Gergo. The nurturing experience was extremely important for these teams, having the opportunity to learn with top mentors. Their international expertise, entrepreneurial tools framework and full commitment are their secret sauce.
Working with iScale was a game-changer for our go-to-market strategy. Tamas and Gergo quickly grasped our technology and helped us sharpen our value proposition, especially for the equestrian niche. Their structured, hands-on approach gave us the tools, messaging, and outreach strategy we needed to start commercial discussions with confidence. Thanks to their work, we're now moving forward with pilots and a clear sales roadmap.
Working with the iScale team has been an outstanding experience. They supported us not only with high-level strategic guidance for sales, fundraising, and marketing, but also brought in top-tier experts who added real value to our operations. What we appreciated the most is that iScale went far beyond traditional advisory: they actively participated in the day-to-day work as well.
Gergo Gulyas and Tamas Szeker, founders of iScale Hub, delivered outstanding training sessions during the Hungarian-Uzbek Startup Acceleration Program. Their engaging and interactive approach truly set them apart, making for a dynamic and immersive learning experience about the startup world and its challenges. It is without a doubt that their contributions were integral to the success of the program, and we at Startup Campus are incredibly grateful to iScale Hub for making it happen.
I highly recommend iScale Hub for their outstanding contributions during the Summer School ‘Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Creativity’ organised by the Faculty of Economics, Business, and Tourism at the University of Split. Tamas and Gergo delivered engaging and informative sessions on sales and pitching, providing valuable insights to the students. Their guidance in helping students develop their business ideas was invaluable, and their approachable nature made them excellent mentors. With their extensive experiences and personalities, Tamas and Gergo were key assets to the programme and a pleasure to work with.
