How Strategic Introductions work

Strategic Introductions are the most important long-term initiative of the Chapters. Their purpose is to connect the regional productive ecosystem with ecosystems throughout Europe by personally introducing executive and operational leaders to one another.

Two-way, personally vetted
Every introduction is made personally by two people – one from each City Chapter – who each know one of the parties involved. This ensures that introductions are relevant, well-considered and based on trusted relationships. It is never a cold introduction.

Two dedicated meetings per month
The Chapters organise two monthly meetings dedicated entirely to introductions: the first Monday of every month focuses on regional introductions within the Chapter ecosystem, and the third Monday focuses on inter-city introductions across Europe.

Building City Antennas
The Chapter also helps expand the European network by establishing City Antennas in regions where no City Chapter yet exists. Each antenna is a small group of leaders who introduce their regional ecosystem into the wider European network, coached by the Chapter.
