Have you been thinking about going to, or even exhibiting at, a trade show?

Going to, or exhibiting at, trade shows overseas is a GREAT way of getting your product or service known to potential buyers, and creating new networks to accelerate your business’s export development. Department for International Trade can help you to do this through the new UK Tradeshow Programme. The scheme can support successful applicants to get prepared for exhibiting with our online training courses, covering both general advice on being ‘match fit’ for shows; and targeted support for your show of choice – all aimed at helping you and your business to get the best experience and maximum benefit from your time exhibiting. In addition, your business may be eligible to receive financial support to add value to your presence at the show.

International Trade Week 2023

Last year, International Trade Week showcased a brand-new series of events designed to help businesses of all shapes and sizes maximise their global potential. We had over 13,000 business registrations to over 100 events taking place all over the world.
These events helped businesses understand how to capitalise on opportunities secured by our new trade deals.  Businesses found out more about key Export Strategy initiatives, such as the Export Support Service and the Export Academy.
Thanks to our partners from across the business community, businesses of all sizes could get practical advice on how to unlock their global potential.

We hope to announce the dates for International Trade Week 2023 very soon. Please email ITWSupport@trade.gov.uk for any further information.
