Join us as we launch our brand new international trade country focus programme, in September 2020.
This exciting new programme brings together industry figures, government representatives and BCC partners from across the world. It will provide businesses with all the insights, advice and answers they need to fully understand the implications of trading with major international markets that have been identified as priority trading partners for the UK.
Each month will consist of two parts:
Part 1 – Global Leader Insights: a strategic overview
This will be a strategic discussion about current/future trade relations with a senior government representative from the market being featured, moderated by Dr Adam Marshall, BCC Director General.
Part 2 – Global Panel Insights: a deeper dive
A more in-depth discussion with leading local experts to allow participants to:
- Explore markets and key sector opportunities to help businesses grow internationally;
- Access information, advice and answers to perceived barriers for exploring or growing in markets around the world.
Together these two parts will give businesses a thorough understanding of the implications and benefits of trading in major overseas markets.
The programme schedule is as follows:
- September: USA Month
- October: Australia Month
- November: Japan / Northern Asia Month (Japan, China, Hong Kong)
