CONCLUSION To build a market position in the US acquisitions are necessary but they then need to be enhanced with local organic business development Tech companies may have to develop / adapt their products for the US market but they can in return benefit from those developments in their other markets. Given the vastness of the territory, distribution is key, an indirect model may make sense The labor market in North America is very flexible which supports growth From a technology point-of-view, the US is often ahead of other markets (e.g. LTE) Local leadership makes the difference One market with over 300m people, one language (which we understand, speak and read), one currency is a huge advange and offers great potential AMCHAM, KMU Panel, 21/11/2013 Ascom Group 20
