NEW YORK, March 27, 2012 – U.S. Ambassador to Sweden Mark Brzezinksi said the time is right for Swedish companies to invest in and establish their businesses in the U.S.

The ambassador’s remarks served as the opening for a half day seminar run by JumpStart Global Advisors Scandinavia (www.jumpstartglobal.com) called “A Jumpstart to Business in the USA.” It was held at NASDAQ OMX in Stockholm on Wednesday, March 21 and offered public and private companies a new model for cost-effectively entering the U.S. market and driving revenues more quickly. The event served as the launch vehicle for the new Nordic consultancy, a subsidiary of JumpStart Global Advisors North America and a unit of Feintuch Communications and Gordon Global.
Other featured speakers included Bo Mattsson, chief executive officer, Cint AB, who spoke of his company’s own experience in entering the U.S. market; Jenny Rosberg, senior vice president, Nasdaq OMX, who spoke about the right time to enter the U.S. market and how/where to secure capital; Kent Schultz, Lars-Ola Nordqvist and Maurice Parry, managing directors of JumpStart Global Advisors Scandinavia; and Scott Gordon, managing director, JumpStart Global Advisors North America.

“JumpStart Global Advisors’ expansion into Scandinavia allows companies throughout the Nordic region to have a single point of contact to access the U.S. market,” said Mr. Gordon. Mr. Gordon’s presentation highlighted the JumpStart model which offers companies a pre-market entry stress test and market assessment in addition to market entry services including legal, financial/accounting, HR, office rentals and back office support; sales, distribution and channel development services; and public relations, marketing and digital services. He offered cautionary advice about companies trying to maneuver too quickly without fully understanding U.S. regulations and the nuances of doing business.
