Paul Bennett’s Post

A good example of a sustainable and scalable business model. Maybe a few people (outside of Ukraine) know that #NovaPost is a logistic holding established by several private investors in the region of Ukraine as a small business. From the beginning, it was focused on streamlined customer service (290M deliveries) in the network (11000+ offices and 14600+ post boxes in Ukraine only) and mobile apps. It was one of the reasons for its success (~100M EUR profit even during the war). The company decided to build an ecosystem and bought and established such companies as an air company, a financial company (they are going to offer small business loans soon), and an energy generation company (in order to minimize the effect of Russian missile attacks and ensure business continuity in case of blackout). Considering my experience with many delivery services, such as DHL, DPD, UPS, and GLS, which I united by one word: "horrible," I am sure Nova Post will be successful in Europe. And 12 countries are just beginning.

Today, we want to spotlight 39 years of hassle-free business expansion. 📈 Or at least as hassle-free as possible, to which signing the Schengen Agreement in 1985 definitely contributed. Businesses in the Greater Copenhagen Region profit especially from this agreement. Here are 3 reasons why: 1️⃣ Grow your export business: Since joining the Schengen Area, companies in the Greater Copenhagen Region have experienced exponential growth due to minimized business costs, delays, and work tasks associated with border controls. Overall, the Danish export economy within the Schengen Area grew by 35% between 2001 and 2021, and the Swedish export economy even grew by 40% in the same time frame. 2️⃣ Cross-Border Commuting: Approximately 70.000 people commute between the two countries daily. This flexibility gives your company access to the best talent regardless of whether you are based in Denmark or Sweden. 3️⃣ Lastly, being based in the Greater Copenhagen Region opens up a market of 100 million customers in Scandinavia. This is particularly interesting for companies with physical goods, as these customers are all reachable within 24 hours, catapulting your company on top of customer satisfaction.

🌍 Expanding from Belgium to Germany isn’t just a change of address—it’s a shift in how business is done. From Belgium’s focus on consensus-building to Germany’s emphasis on precision and structure, every decision, every meeting, and every handshake feels different. Germans value clear communication, long-term relationships, and punctuality, while Belgians often navigate with flexibility and compromise. Adapting to these cultural nuances is both challenging and rewarding. It’s about learning to bridge expectations and finding a balance that works for both sides. For anyone stepping into a new market, it’s not just about the business—it’s about mastering the culture. 🌟 #culturaldifferences #businessgrowth #expansion #learningcurve

When I speak to Americans, they often highlight two positive aspects of Europe. First, they say, 'Europe has an incredible airline industry. You can travel everywhere within and outside of Europe for a very cheap price.' Second, they mention, 'You have the same with the telecom industry. Unlimited phone calls and data are available at affordable prices.' In response, European politicians, particularly in France and Germany, argue, 'We need to consolidate the airline and telecom industries to compete with the Americans and become more like them.' However, this approach would likely lead to higher prices and less consumer choice, similar to what we see in the U.S., without necessarily fostering the same level of innovation. The fundamental issue is that Europeans often lack the entrepreneurial spirit and appetite for risk, and they are not adept at leveraging the benefits of the single market (many are unfamiliar with its regulations). Therefore, the mission for the next European Commission should not be more consolidation. Instead, it should focus on fostering a culture of risk-taking and innovation, even if that means disrupting traditional monopolistic industries.
