Your guide to success
The strategies behind Germany's world-beating small businesses — turned into a roadmap any ambitious SME can follow.
by Imtiaz Rastgar

Germany is a nation of small firms that quietly lead the world in their niches. This book is how they do it — and how you can too.
”The Mittelstand playbook, made usable.
Globalpreneurship unveils the secrets of Germany's thriving SMEs and lays out a comprehensive roadmap for becoming a global leader in whatever you make. It's written from four decades inside German industry and international export markets — the quiet system behind the Mittelstand, turned into steps an SME anywhere can act on.
The through-line is simple: embrace a global mindset, leverage technology, build around Ikigai, and use low-cost marketing to create a product that sells worldwide. Direct, practical, and free of jargon — a compass, not a lecture.
Global mindset
Think in world markets from day one — not as an afterthought once the home market slows.
Leverage technology
Use tools and automation to punch far above your size and reach.
Adopt Ikigai
Build around purpose, so your product has a reason to exist — and to endure.
Low-cost marketing
Win international buyers without a big-brand budget behind you.
For the SME ready to go global.
You've built something good. This is the playbook for taking it to the world.
The SME manufacturer
Makes a solid product and is ready to sell it well beyond the home market.
The ambitious founder
Wants a global business, not just a local one — and needs the map to get there.
The family business
Professionalising operations to compete seriously on the international stage.
The exporter-in-waiting
Has the product and the ambition — just needs the proven system.
What you'll take away.
The book moves the way German SMEs actually operate — deliberate, systematic, and built to travel.
The German SME success story
Why thousands of small German firms dominate global niches — and what's transferable to yours.
Building a world-ready product
Designing for international buyers from the start, not retrofitting for export later.
Technology & Ikigai as engines
Pairing the right tools with a real sense of purpose to build something that lasts.
Marketing on a lean budget
Low-cost strategies to find, win and keep buyers across borders.
→ A best-selling product that sells worldwide.
