Espere
Espere was founded in 2017 by Ida Kymmer. With her international business strategy background, Ida recognized the need to assist businesses in exploring and entering new markets, as companies often waste time, money, and resources in this process. Her goal was to effectively support companies to understand the potential of a new region, update their value proposition, understand and execute requirements needed and take a localised approach to the establishment and sales in the new market.
Today, Espere is a full-service consultancy that supports companies with feasibility studies, creates strategies, assists with set-up, and executes strategies in new markets.
Since 2017, Espere has supported governmental export agencies, embassies, as well as companies from the wine, fashion, art, luxury, and tech industries in establishing themselves and building a strong brand in new regions.
