Grow London Global is a free 12-month programme for innovative tech companies ready to expand internationally. Think you're a fit? Check out our eligibility criteria below and the latest cohort of ambitious businesses currently on the programme.
Since launching in May 2023, Grow London Global has provided global business support to more than 600 high-growth tech companies, with £428m in business deals secured so far.
The programme is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and supported by seven delivery partners who are on hand to help you achieve global success: HSBC Innovation Banking, Oury Clark, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Deel, GrantTree, CLA and TwentyAI.
Thanks to these partnerships, you can access a wealth of expert advice and guidance on global trade, services and markets, as well as practical issues including commercial, financial, global HR, legal, taxation, technology and digital solutions.
The Grow London Global programme is by far the most useful and impactful programme that I have had the privilege of being involved in. The networks, such as London Tech Week speaking slots, and exclusive events, like the AI Dinner with senior government and business leaders, are unparalleled. The exposure they can provide to international markets and leaders cannot be found anywhere else.Angie Madara
