About ScaleGate
Industry: Business Consulting and Services
Company size: 2-10 employees
International growth is won in the details: the right market, the first credible partner, a fundable plan and people who can execute locally. ScaleGate brings those pieces together for founders, programme operators and organisations working across emerging markets and Europe. Our work moves from strategy into delivery: โ Enter new markets: validation, positioning, soft landing and local setup โ Build commercial traction: customers, pilots, partnerships, grants and investment readiness โ Strengthen the venture: product, technology, manufacturing and R&D โ Run founder programmes: programme design, venture sourcing, acceleration and ecosystem connections Our portfolio centres on food, water, energy and health. ScaleGate Africa extends this work into Creative & Cultural Industries through a dedicated pathway. European operations are based in The Hague under Euventures B.V., while our African subsidiary operates from Lagos, Nigeria. Together, the two teams create a practical route for African ventures entering Europe, international companies building in Nigeria and organisations supporting founders across both markets. Bring us the next market, growth opportunity or programme ambition. We turn it into a clear route and carry the work forward.
