Export to new markets with confidence

ExploreExport is organised by UK Trade & Investment to help guide and assist companies through this period of a rapidly changing world economy, and to provide you with an opportunity to meet with trade officers who can help develop your overseas business.
 
Building upon the success of the last two years, ExploreExport brings you specialist trade officers from embassies, High Commissions and consulates around the world, to answer your questions about accessing their market.
 
In these difficult economic times we are seeing an increasing number of businesses in the UK looking to limit the impact on their bottom line by exploring potential new markets overseas. ExploreExport provides a unique opportunity for businesses to take advantage of the collective insight, market knowledge, and experience of these international trade specialists.
 
Trade officers can provide a package of information and contacts tailored exactly to your needs, and will be happy to discuss these needs with you at these highly interactive workshops.
 
ExploreExport workshops are strictly limited to a maximum of 30 places per workshop.
 
Book your ExploreExport workshop and learn how to access business opportunities internationally.
