Partnership delivers complete market entry, growth strategy, and business development solutions for foreign companies entering new markets

Silicon Valley, CA, March 28, 2003 -- Accelligent Management Group, a global professional services firm headquartered in New York City, with operations throughout the United States and Europe, and Strategro International, LLC, a leading international marketing and growth consultancy headquartered in Montclair, NJ, announced today a worldwide partnership focused on delivering complete market entry, growth strategy, and business development solutions to companies expanding globally. Through the new partnership, the two companies will be able to provide a comprehensive list of business services and network to their clientele, to aid and accelerate new market entry into the US and other key markets. The collaboration will combine proven methodologies and experience, and take full advantage of synergies that exist between the two partners.

We are pleased to join forces with Accelligent to provide broader coverage of the market, and to benefit from the complimentary sector experience, skills, and network that this partnership will offer," said Steve Dillingham, Principal of Strategro International. We plan to take full advantage of our combined resources and intellectual capital to enhance our existing offering to clients, and to leverage this strength to attract new clients", continued Dillingham. Our ability to provide superior sector expertise outside of our core areas, and access to critical network partners, depends on our willingness to team with our equals. This partnership is a true winner, and will quickly differentiate us in the international marketplace as a one-source shop for market entry, expansion, and business development services for our clients," Dillingham stated.
