Life Science Go-2-Market USA: Strategic Road-Map in Changing Times
European life science companies entering the US market in 2026 face a more complex regulatory, talent, and geopolitical environment than any previous generation of founders has seen.
Join Mark Stimpfig and Laurie Spicer from Foothold America, alongside Thierry Weber MD of Vivactis Group, Chris Driscoll of Mishcon de Reya, and Michael Holland of Blick Rothenberg, as they map out how high-growth life science scale-ups can successfully land and expand in the United States right now.
During this one-hour interactive panel, five specialists cover the strategic decisions that determine success in the US life science market, including market readiness, FDA and compliance, recruiting PhD-level talent, and building a scalable go-to-market plan from the ground up.
Whether you are at the early research stage, preparing for FDA engagement, or ready to hire your first US-based team, this recording gives you the practical framework to move forward with confidence.
Drawing on decades of combined experience in US market entry, employment law, and life science commercialisation, the panel addresses the questions European founders ask most often and the mistakes that cost companies the most time and money.

"Foothold America was able to get things done for us very quickly. They made life easier for us and worked with us to make sure staff were looked after and that we were able to get up and running."
Operations Manager, UK Network Security Company
"We needed to access the US market to maximize our potential for growth. We selected our employee and Foothold America managed the payroll and payroll taxes, benefits, taxes and other employee logistics, enabling us to avoid dealing with the bureaucratic maze of employing someone in the US."
CEO, Belgium Manufacturing Company
"Foothold America was instrumental in helping my UK company employ field applications sales people in the US without having to set up a US subsidiary, which is the usual route for foreign companies. Foothold America facilitated this by employing the people we had chosen and handling all the employment, terms, salaries, taxes, social costs etc. They then billed us monthly for these costs plus a reasonable service charge. As a result, we were able get going very quickly with our own people in the USA and at a much lower cost base."
CEO, UK Biotech Company
"I couldn’t manage our US subsidiary without Foothold America. Our small HR department isn’t equipped with the knowledge or staff to handle our US employees. I could end my workday in the UK knowing Foothold America would take care of everything in the US."
Head of HR, UK financial services firm
"We currently use Foothold America's Employer of Record Service and plan to move to their People Partnership Service when we set up an entity in the coming months. It’s great knowing we can work with one partner through various stages of our growth."
CMO, Norway IT company
"We started US expansion on our own and soon after, we stumbled over employee benefits leaving our expat staff and families without healthcare insurance. It was a huge risk for them and our company. Foothold America came in and got us sorted. They’ve been taking care of us ever since."
Sr. People Partner, UK software company
