Your gateway to expansion in Europe

Each program cohort will take 6 weeks.

We typically recommend at least 3-4 months for program development, applications, and preparation before launching a new program. However, we are happy to talk to you about your specific timeline to see what’s possible.

To participate in an ISL program, please submit an application here. 

Each program cohort will have its own criteria. For the May cohort, applicants must be either a Startup, Scaleup, or innovative SME. Please keep an eye on the application announcements for specific guidelines on who is eligible to apply, as well as deadlines. 

The program will cost a sum of €5.000 excluding 21% VAT per attendee, excluding travel and accommodation costs

While each program will have a customized schedule, it is typical for programs to begin virtually and culminate in an in-person visit to the CIC Rotterdam campus. 

All program components will be in English: all modules will be taught in English, and all written and spoken deliverables will be in English. As such, participants must be sufficiently fluent in English to complete reading assignments and meaningfully participate in discussions and working groups.

To participate in the program, companies need to enroll teams of 1-2 decision makers (CEO, Founders, Managing Directors, CFOs, etc.).

We accept about 10 startups per cohort. 

Yes! We invite you to join ISL’s Alumni Network, a community made up of like-minded international entrepreneurs who have been in your shoes and offer a supportive environment.
