The Nordic Food Series is happy to partner with Bob Burke, a seasoned food industry expert and founder of Natural Products Consulting. Bob has been developing U.S. market entry strategies for international and domestic food companies for over 25 years and has worked with notable Nordic brands Fazer and Valio.

In this webinar, Bob will walk you through various considerations for building your U.S. go-to-market strategy, including:

  • Grocery retail landscape: types of retailers

  • Distribution in the EU vs the U.S.

  • Necessary U.S. sales and distribution partners

  • Role of food brokers

  • Pricing and margins

  • Chargebacks and other fees

After the webinar, select companies will be invited for a free 1-on-1 session with Bob to discuss their plans for the U.S. In addition, you will have the option to initiate an individual project (for a fee) to develop a tailored go-to-market strategy for your brand, including introductions to suitable partners.
