  • train in innovative aspects of business management in the field of logistics and foreign trade.
  • show how internationalization can be a professional opportunity for entrepreneurship.
  • promote the internationalization of companies based in the Community of Madrid. 
  • More internationalization means more sales, more jobs, more investments and, therefore, the creation of wealth and economic development for our territory. 

But is the internationalization of a company necessary for its viability? And for its scalability? Are scalability and internationalization synonymous? Complementary concepts? What is the difference between these terms? How is the internationalization of a company carried out? startup? Are there differences between the internationalization process of a traditional company whose business is not technology-based and a startup? How did the startup best known?
