The Department for International Trade (DIT) are hosting a series of events in partnership with our overseas teams to help companies working on the Clean Growth agenda access international markets and grow through export.
Clean growth means growing income while cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Clean growth is not a sector but more a cross-cutting theme, encompassing technologies and approaches across sectors. All sectors have an important role in responding to the clean growth agenda.
Chile is the UK’s third-biggest trading partner in Latin America (Comtrade, 2019). It is a great market for businesses wanting to enter Latin America with a strong demand from the following industries:
- Clean Energy (Hydrogen, Onshore Wind, Solar)
- Circular Economy (Waste Management, Recycling, Biomass)
- Transport (Automotive, Aerospace, Shipping, Infrastructure, Chemicals)
- Buildings/Infrastructure (Adv. Engineering, Construction, Environment, Water, Tech & Smart Cities)
- Mining
- Management Consultancies and other related services to the industry
The Northern Powerhouse Virtual Mission activity is split into two parts:
Part 1: Chilean Green Recovery: Opportunities for Northern Powerhouse Businesses - Watch Recording
This one-hour webinar in partnership with DIT Chile and the British Chamber of Commerce in Chile idenitfies incredible short-term commercial opportunities in various sectors to strengthen Chile’s green economic recovery efforts from COVID-19.

About Chile
Chile and the UK have enjoyed a long and vibrant trading and diplomatic history based on shared values. Total trade in goods and services between the UK and Chile was worth £1.6 billion in the four quarters to the end of Q3 2020 and total exports amounted to £843 million.
The UK has also signed an association agreement with Chile. Since 12 January 2021, preferential tariff rates on UK exports to Chile, are being applied as set out in the agreement, opening up more opportunities for UK companies. This association agreement includes provisions on trade in goods (including provisions on preferential tariffs, tariff rate quotas, rules of origin and sanitary and phytosanitary measures), trade in services, intellectual property and Government procurement.
The Government of Chile has announced $34billion-worth of funding for new transport infrastructure projects over the coming decades offering further exciting opportunities for British businesses.
