These are picking up now, as expected. Not comprehensive, but the following may be of interest. This month, I’ve tried to look for some that are not Country specific, but instead look at some of the other issues which often come up when looking overseas at a new market for the first time.

UKTI are currently running a series of day long workshops on Routes to Markets – looking at different options in different countries. These go on until the end of next month. They are not free, but could provide useful information. See www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk
Specifically, the London UKTI team are holding a series of workshops on the likes of IPR & Licensing; 7 routes to an overseas market; acquisitions & disposals; agency/distribution; as well as several trade missions – India, South Africa, etc. Go to www.uktilondon.gov.uk for more info.
On 24th February, Essex Chambers are holding an afternoon event focusing on exporting to Poland – details from www.essexchambers.co.uk.
UKTI/FCO can also advise on the multitude of trade fairs that are coming up across Europe and further afield, together with useful information on travel/safety/other issues associated with specific countries and regions – check their websites – www.ukti.gov.uk and www.fco.gov.uk.

“Forthcoming Events”

Given the nature of what I do, I receive many invitations to seminars, specific country events, etc. Although I attend many, to keep up to date with what’sgoing on in specific countries and regions, I cannot attend every one and I’m sure that some may be of interest to you if you are looking for more information or want to target certain countries and areas. Some events are free, others have a cost attached; however, you can easily find more information by contacting the relevant organisation.

UKTI – www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk
Business and Culture in China – 20th Nov. London.
Business and Culture in Brazil – 14th Jan. London.
Exploring Mexico – 18th Nov. London.

London Chamber of Commerce -www.londonchamber.co.uk
Opportunities in S Arabia – 2nd Nov. London

UKTI are also an ideal contact point if you want to find our more about Trade Missions to specific countries. You usually need to arrange these well in advance but, by way of example, in the next couple of months there will be missions to S.Arabia, Libya, Bahrain, Algeria and others. They also have details of overseas trade fairs, e.g. Dubai Air Show in November. Business Link are also good for information – if you already have a Business Link advisor, speak to him/her, as, for some visits,
part funding can be available.
