To use one of Sun Tsu’s famous quotes: “Without local guide, the land is a weapon against you”. We know the importance of having a local presence.

However, at europeanFOOTHOLD we have the knowledge and expertise to make your international venture a success.

Without local guides, the land is a weapon against you. Sun Tsu
