For companies expanding into the U.S. market, ABD provides outsourced BD solutions, acting as a dedicated U.S.-based BD team. We represent companies at key industry conferences, execute outreach on partnering platforms, conduct meetings, and manage post-conference follow-up—ensuring that warm, engaged leads are seamlessly transferred to the clients internal team. This eliminates costly international travel while maximizing business development opportunities.
