Internationalisation as a Service

Across borders, in both directions.

TGE* takes UK engineering and digital businesses into new international markets, and brings proven technology and project finance to project owners abroad. The same capability serves both: a proposition packaged to the standard the counterpart expects, access at ministerial and institutional level, and a clear route to the finance.

For UK businesses entering a new market, read on. For project owners abroad who need the technology and the finance, see Project Facilitation.

Which direction are you travelling?

Two doors, one capability

Taking a UK business into a new market

For established UK businesses in engineering, clean technology, water, energy transition and digital, with an international footprint that is narrow or regional and a decision to grow beyond it. Three stages, bought one at a time, that produce evidence rather than paperwork.

Bringing technology and finance to a project abroad

For project owners in emerging and reconstruction markets who have the site, the waste stream or the demand, and need the developer and the capital. One route that brings the developer, the technology and the project finance together. Project Facilitation.

Taking a UK business into a new market

Three stages, bought one at a time

No retainer and no exclusivity. Each stage has a defined deliverable and a defined end point, and the business can pause, stop or accelerate between stages.

Stage 1: Discovery

Which markets, in what order, through whom. A written roadmap: the candidate markets scanned to one template, the partners and counterparts who would carry the plan, the regulatory position in each market, and the sequence for what follows.

Stage 2: Strategic Positioning

Delivered per market. Partners identified and qualified, the regulatory route mapped, public procurement routes opened, ministerial and embassy relationships built, introductions made, and a closing report that records the agreements signed and the pipeline opened.

Stage 3: In-country Support

On demand. TGE* alongside the business at ministerial, embassy, distributor and partner meetings: a briefing before, presence in the room, and an outcome note after.

Each stage is scoped in conversation and confirmed in a single Proposal and Engagement Letter before it starts.

Two kinds of evidence

Evidence, not paperwork

For a business with a capital event on the horizon, a listing, a raise or a sale, the work is framed as credentialing: geographic revenue diversification, relationships at ministerial level and credible exposure to developing markets, written so that it can sit inside investor materials. For a business growing commercially, it is framed as return: signed partners, qualified pipeline and a route to first revenue. Which framing applies is settled in the first conversation.

Where TGE* works

Where the relationships are

Central Asia, the Middle East and Ukraine, where TGE* holds relationships at ministerial, embassy and senior official level built through direct engagement over years, and the wider set of markets across Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa in which the Founding Director has worked for over thirty years. Written country intelligence is held for the markets TGE* works in most and built for others as an engagement needs it. In Ukraine, TGE* is preparing projects now so that they are packaged and ready when reconstruction finance opens.

What TGE* does not do

The boundary that makes it credible

Listing mechanics

Sponsors, lawyers, accountants and listing documents are not TGE* work.

In-country operations

Subsidiaries, local teams and supply chains are the business’s own, supported by the partners TGE* has qualified.

Selling for anyone

TGE* identifies, qualifies and introduces, and is nobody’s sales agent.

Who does the work

The principal, not a team of juniors

Every engagement is led by Farakh Masood, Founding Director of TGE*. Over thirty years of international business leadership across Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa, at ministerial level and with sovereign wealth funds, so the counterpart, the protocol and the politics are familiar ground. A mining engineer by training, with an MBA and legal training behind it, so the product, the numbers and the contract are read together. Leader in Residence at Leeds University Business School.

The next step

Start with where you want to be in three years

A fit conversation, not a pitch. Where the fit is there, a longer scoping conversation follows, then a written scoping note within five working days, and a single Proposal and Engagement Letter for Discovery. Project owners start on the Project Facilitation page.
