Benjamin Klingsbo
European GTM for Chinese hardware & AI going global.
I help Chinese hardware and AI companies build commercial traction in Europe: strategy, partnerships, and the enterprise sales motion that EU buyers respond to.
10 years building commercial motion across Sweden, Ireland and the Nordics. Ex-Google, where I owned Sweden's largest advertising book and drove 18% QoQ growth. Co-founder & COO of Ankra, Techstars 2023, $1.2M raised. Technical foundation in Python, IaC and modern AI architecture. Work with me to earn local consumer & engineer trust to grow your business.
Market Entry Strategy
Channel mapping, pricing, partner identification, and the EU regulatory landscape Chinese teams underestimate: GDPR, CE marking, and the EU AI Act.
Enterprise Commercial Motion
The C-level relationship cadence European enterprise buyers expect. A different beat than the China playbook, and the place most Chinese hardware companies stall.
Brand & Partnership Architecture
Long-cycle partnership development, executive evangelism, and the trust-building that wins competitive procurement.
Chinese hardware and AI companies entering EU and Nordic markets. Robotics and physical AI startups building enterprise sales motion outside Asia. Founders who need a European face on the team without hiring full-time.
Stockholm-based. In China May 8 to June 8, 2026. Speaking at GO Summit Shenzhen, May 23.
