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.

What I Do

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.

Where I'm Useful

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.

Currently

Stockholm-based. In China May 8 to June 8, 2026. Speaking at GO Summit Shenzhen, May 23.
