7i helps organizations identify opportunities, understand complex markets, enter new ecosystems and build business across Canada, Europe and internationally.
We help organizations navigate markets that are difficult to understand and even harder to enter.
Entering a new market requires more than identifying potential customers. You need to understand how the ecosystem actually works: who matters, how decisions are made, what buyers expect, which partners can help, and what can prevent a technically strong solution from gaining traction.
7i helps clients answer those questions and act on them.
We identify markets, opportunities, customers, partners and stakeholders that are relevant to your objectives.
We help you understand how a market actually works — who makes decisions, how buying and procurement work, what regulations matter, who the competitors are, and what can help or hinder market entry.
We turn that understanding into market access through positioning, introductions, partnership development, stakeholder engagement and business development support.
We don't just tell you where the opportunities are. We help you pursue them.
Market assessment, opportunity identification, competitive context, stakeholder mapping and buyer analysis.
Practical strategies for entering new jurisdictions, sectors or institutional markets.
Opportunity development, introductions, stakeholder engagement and support through the commercial process.
Identification and development of relationships with local partners, integrators, distributors and strategic allies.
We help clients understand how to sell and operate in government, regulated and complex markets — including procurement processes, decision-making structures and key stakeholders.
Senior-level support to turn market intelligence into concrete decisions, relationships and business opportunities.
Our focus is on technology, security and other markets where trust, regulation and institutional dynamics matter.
We help Canadian technology companies identify and develop opportunities abroad, with a particular focus on Europe and transatlantic markets.
We help international companies understand and enter the Canadian market — identifying customers, partners, procurement channels and the stakeholders that shape market access.
We connect companies with the commercial and institutional ecosystems required to operate successfully across jurisdictions.
Practical. Senior-level. Hands-on.
7i is a boutique advisory. Engagements are led directly at the senior level and tailored to specific market objectives.
We work from strategy through execution — from understanding a market and identifying opportunities to making introductions, developing partnerships and supporting business development on the ground.
Our approach is discreet, pragmatic and focused on results.
When appropriate, we become an extension of our client's business development team in the target market.
We primarily work with technology companies seeking to expand into new markets or complex ecosystems.
We also support public-sector and ecosystem organizations on selected strategic mandates.
All communication & mandates can be handled both in French or English.
Requests are handled discreetly. If your message involves sensitive context, keep it high-level—details can follow once scope and fit are confirmed.
