See where we’re making an impact.
The outlook for international business has fundamentally changed over the past several decades and continues to evolve daily. Cross-border transactions have become much more complex, while communication and speed have increased tremendously across all markets.
Simultaneously, the mobility of people, data and funds has become more free in some ways, and yet defined by restrictions in others. The future is full of uncertainty, but more importantly, it is also full of promise.
Welcome to doing business globally in the new decade.
High Tech & Manufacturing
The Challenge
Technology has arrived across all sectors of manufacturing. Sound strategies, flexibility and solid business partnerships are required to scale and develop business internationally, break down cultural barriers and connect speed with strategy.

Our team has deep experience with impactful market and localization studies, business plans, strategies and investments.
ICT, Big Data & Digital Media
The Challenge
Inter-related trends across ICT, Big Data and Digital Media are expected to lead large productivity gains for the economy. Yet digital borders and firewalls, security issues, data privacy, and the protection of national financial and tax issues have created a new reality with serious impacts on international development for those in the ICT, Big Data and Digital Media spaces.

Globe & Seas has advised several companies in China on partner search, business and financial plans, in addition to investing in a Chinese AI company. We have also lent our expertise in sales and account management, investment and divestment to an ICT consultancy in Europe.
Cleantech & Renewable Energies
The Challenge
The industries of cleantech and renewable energies have had substantial development in the last two decades, yet still face great challenges ahead due to predicted climate changes, pollution levels, urbanization and more. The business cycle from development to execution presents many complications, which means finding the right opportunities and partners is crucial to reach economies of scale.

We have deep experience in several dredging and marine engineering projects, including offshore windfarms in Europe, and have managed an environmental cleanup project in France.
Life Sciences
The Challenge
Stakeholder collaborations, new digital technologies and therapeutic approaches have had a dramatic impact on drug and device development. Simultaneously, heightened global competition, tougher regulatory standards, outsourcing strategies and continued cost pressures are driving increasingly efficient innovation – creating both challenges and opportunities. With the size of investments in life sciences, scaling the business internationally is imperative.
