English term or phrase: was out to win

Salve.

Lavoro su un testo che spazia da una visione d'insieme dell'attuale situazione nell'industria tessile, le tecnologie, i macchinari, ecc..
Trovo "XXX, with its knowledge and flexible model, was out to win and conquer, waiting for EU authorities to give the green light, maybe with some territorial concessions to be made."

mi sfugge l'espressione "was out to win and conquer"

Grazie ancora

17 mins confidence:

intendeva/si prefiggeva di (vincere/conquistare ecc.)

Explanation:
Un'alternativa

Sul Ragazzini ho trovato questa voce: "(fig.) avere messo gli occhi addosso a q., to be out to get sb"

Per la scelta del verbo seguente (vincere/conquistare) bisognerebbe capire che cosa l'azienda voleva conquistare (un mercato, clienti ecc?).

Buon lavoro!
