Internationalization of a Business and Start ups

Internationalization refers to a firm’s expansion outside its domestic market. This process may occur in three ways:

• commercial expansion: the products made in the country of origin are exported and sold abroad;
• direct foreign investment, through which multinational companies also own a company (legal entity) manufacturing plant, or R & D centre in one or more foreign countries, possibly in joint ventures with local operators;
• intermediate forms of internationalization: agreements, licenses, technical assistance and commercial contracts, etc., that allow for the selling or leasing of technology by overseas companies  to local operators.

A start-up innovation is an Italian company, which may also be formed as a cooperative, or a European company, resident in Italy for tax purposes, and which has as its aim, the production, development, marketing of services or innovative and cutting edge technology.
