The Digital Softlanding Program on Cyber Security is a uniquely founded program by The Hague & Partners to guide India’s 10 best cyber security companies with their European expansion.

The Digital Softlanding Program is a government sponsored program by which the aim is to help innovative cyber security companies validate their entry strategy for the European market through a structured digital 4-step process before their physical expansion to Europe.

We invite promising Indian Cyber Security companies to apply for this program where 10 of the best applicants will be selected and granted free access to our Digital Softlanding Program Cyber Security. The program follows a specifically designed 4-step approach where firstly through experienced sector experts, the selected participants will receive all market information about the Dutch and European Cyber Security ecosytem.

Secondly, the participants will be guided by business mentors with crafting their European entry strategy based on the sector inputs received by the sector experts previously. The next step consist of validating the earlier crafted European entry strategy with local players from the Dutch Cyber Security ecosystem in order to finetune the right product/market fit for the European market.

Lastly, once the participant has a validated European Entry strategy a tailored roadmap for physical expansion will be provided to have successful soft-landing in the Netherlands.
