Made in Britain is pleased to share details of the UK government’s ‘Made in the UK, Sold to the World’ roadshow series to help more SMEs from across the UK connect with international buyers and markets, supporting UK exports and economic growth as part of the Plan for Change.
Made in Britain delivers an ongoing export support programme to Made in Britain companies, including working closely with the UK government. Starting in late April in Blyth and taking place across all nations and regions of the UK, the roadshows aim to directly connect international buyers with SME exporters ready to seize the opportunity to grow their businesses. Highlighted sectors include clean energy, advanced manufacturing, technology, life sciences, digital and technology, and financial services.
Each event will provide opportunities for businesses to meet domestic and international Commercial Officers, who will offer expert support and advice on specific products, markets, and export opportunities.
A range of workshops and seminars on topical issues such as ‘conducting market research’ and ‘routes to market’ will take place throughout the day, led by the UK Export Academy. Several of these will feature DBT Export Champions who will speak of their own experiences in target markets.
Future roadshows will be taking place throughout the year in Birmingham, Cardiff, Oxford, Belfast and Edinburgh. Made in Britain companies can find out more and register their interest on the Made in the UK, Sold to the World Roadshows website.
UK businesses can access free government resources to support your business to export, as well as further information on UK Export Finance and preparing to sell into a new country.
