CalEurope™ with head office in Silicon Valley, California has joined the TBK Network of business consultants globalizing the software industry.

Copenhagen, Denmark and Silicon Valley, California, December 17, 2007 - Silicon Valley hosts an extraordinary set of laboratories and research institutions which fuel local and global innovation.  With the world’s highest concentration of venture capital (share of all US venture capital investment is 26%, up from 18% a decade ago) and a dense network of supporting industries, the Silicon Valley innovation “habitat” is uniquely positioned to nurture entrepreneurial activity.

In the years since the dot-com collapse, Silicon Valley has solidified its position as a global center for creativity in business and technology.  Silicon Valley has long been effective at attracting entrepreneurs, incubating new companies, creating new products and services and introducing entirely new business models.  The region also has a documented, well-established infrastructure of financial, legal, business and other start-up expertise.

 “It is not easy for US software development companies to take the steps of making their solutions available on the international markets”, says Christian Olsson Co-Founder of CalEurope™ “The TBK Network and the PIA (Planning and Implementation Approach especially for software companies) is really what is needed to help the US soft industry globalize without making all the expensive mistakes.”

CalEurope™ is also assisting European software companies making an entry into the US market. “The US market is certainly very attractive to software companies from all over the world,” explains Christian Olsson, “but you must understand the mentality of the US customer and the special infrastructure which reigns here. You need to plan your entry carefully to avoid costly mistakes and delays. With the TBK Network and the PIA we can ensure inbound customers a tailored and structured market entry, ensuring short as well as long term profitability.”

“Having CalEurope™ joining the TBK Network is really good news for the US as well as the European software industry”, says TBK Network founder Hans Peter Bech. “With its’ European roots CalEurope™ really understands how to help software companies crossing the Atlantic.  An exercise that historically was a disaster for most of those who attempted.  We are going to make the Atlantic a narrow strip of water in the future.”
