The government sees export as a major driver for economic growth in the UK and has set an ambitious target to export £1tr of goods and services by 2020.
The high growth markets the government are targeting all expect significant import growth between 2015 and 2020. This growth is in part due to the rise of the global middle class.
This is why the Chamber has organised an International Trade Conference & Exhibition to make our district’s businesses aware of the opportunities open to them internationally.
Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or service provider there are opportunities to gain new business through exporting. It is also a chance for businesses and organisations to network, gain useful knowledge, advice and a chance to share experiences and best practice. Speakers confirmed at the event include UK Trade & Investment, UK India Business Council & Lancaster University’s – China Catalyst programme to name a few. They will be offering their advice and handy tips on how to navigate the world of international trade.
