Program FAQ

Q: Can I apply if our company or founders are not from Germany?

A: As long as your company is incorporated* in Germany, you are welcome to apply. Founder nationality does not affect participation in the modules of the programme.

*To qualify for our program, your company must be incorporated in Germany (supported legal forms: UG; AG; GmbH; GmbH & Co. KG).

Q: Do I have to attend all days of the market immersion program?

A:Once your application and payment has been processed and confirmed before the trip, there won’t be any payment refund as we would have prepared all the necessary setup required. Given that the travel and accommodation costs are being covered by the participant, if there are any last minute dropouts, the company is free to propose another team member to join the program.

Q: Which team member should attend?

A: We recommend at least one of the founders or C-level executives attending together with a member with the relevant business background and expertise. Participants should have an interest in learning about the Asia markets and industries.

Q: Do you help with visa/immigration issues?

A: if you intend to stay longer than the validity of your tourist visa, you should first obtain a visa from the relevant embassies before proceeding. As visa/immigration issues can vary according to your personal situation, we recommend that you obtain expert advice and/or contact the Embassy for further clarification on visa requirements.

Q: Where will I live during the program?

A: That’s up to you. We don’t provide accommodations but we can provide preferred rates in the program locations, and for convenience and to get discounted rates,  we would require you to stay in the same hotel with the other participants.

Q: How much does it cost to participate in the program?

A: As the program is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), participation fees are subsidised and kept low to cover operational expenses. The program costs 750EUR per individual. It does not include travel and accommodation costs, which have to be covered by participating companies.

Q: How do we make payment for the program?

A: We accept payment via bank transfer. More information will be provided upon confirmation of your registration.

Applications/Registrations

Q: How do I register for the program?
