Resumo

Este estudo examina as estratexias de internacionalización dos emprendedores e pemes galegas, centrándose nas tendencias de internacionalización temperá. O obxectivo principal é desenvolver un marco normativo que permita aos emprendedores e ás pemes consolidadas achegarse aos mercados exteriores de forma eficaz. Utilizando un enfoque cualitativo, a investigación analiza os datos das empresas galegas para construír a matriz de Internacionalización do Emprendemento Galego (IEG). Os datos recompiláronse mediante enquisas e complementáronse coa base de datos da Zona Franca de Vigo, que abarca ás empresas exportadoras fundadas entre 1999 e 2021. Aplicáronse análises cualitativas e modelos matriciais para clasificar as empresas en distintas etapas de internacionalización, tendo en conta factores como a amplitude do mercado, a intensidade das exportacións e a rapidez de entrada. Os resultados revelan que as empresas máis novas tenden a internacionalizarse nun ano desde a súa creación, influenciadas polos avances tecnolóxicos e as políticas públicas favorables. Xurdiron catro perfís de empresas. A Matriz IEG ofrece información valiosa para os responsables de políticas públicas e os xestores de empresas co obxectivo de promover a internacionalización temperá.
