Once the value proposition was established, the next step was scaling globally. Rather than rely solely on market analyses, the team gathered real insights by talking directly to potential customers. This helped them understand unique needs and fine-tune their service before entering new markets.  Today, copperdot’s global footprint spans Europe, the Middle East, the US, India, and China.

As Hamza highlights, scaling internationally came with challenges like fragmented data across regions. But by relying on customer interviews and test deliveries, the business was able to adapt and grow rapidly. 📈 👉 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: https://lnkd.in/gUV2GpEy #BoschBusinessInnovations #HomeofBoschIntrapreneurs #beyondinnovation #Bosch #entrepreneurship
