The world is a big place and although we hear a lot about venture-backed companies outsourcing parts of their operations to China or India, there are countries that are less talked about that are offering benefits that some venture-backed companies (and their investors) should consider.

For example, were you aware that Belfast, Northern Ireland has the lowest operating costs of any comparable region within Western Europe coupled with established ICT, Financial Services and BPO clusters? Or, that Argentina and Brazil are emerging as strong alternatives to India and China for IT investment and BPO outsourcing?

Every global location has its pros and cons and each business is a unique case. Join NVCA on September 17th at 12:00 pm ET for a 60 minute webcast that will look at the factors that all companies (and their investors) should consider before implementing an international expansion strategy. We will highlight some different regions and the unique incentives being offered to emerging growth companies. And, our experienced panel of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists will share lessons learned from their experiences in building companies in a variety of countries.
