“Since engaging with MENADO in 2021, my companies have been introduced to potential partners and stakeholders in the North Atlantic region that have led to purchase orders, refined business strategies, and broad brand awareness for my product suites. My participation as a Maine delegate at the Arctic Circle Assembly 2022 in Reykjavik with MENADO is producing results, not even 90 days later. I’m engaging with University of Iceland and Iceland’s Coast Guard in ways I hadn’t imagined.”

“I participated in a North Atlantic Digital Health Hackathon supported by MENADO in 2020. Since then, I have earned a medical degree in Iceland and have started a company with the technology that I ideated during the hackathon. I’ve now come full circle and am planning to scale up my medical solutions company in Maine in 2023. MENADO has introduced me to resource partners and mentors in Maine, as well as the state’s economic development ecosystem. These introductions and the generosity of Mainers who have stepped up to help me succeed here makes Maine a stand-out location for my company. I already have a supportive community in Maine.”

“MENADO understands our business and our scale-up needs and has connected us to valuable network partners both in Iceland and in the US. As a company that has a physical presence in Iceland, the introductions that were made for us in Reykjavik went beyond our expectations.”
