Introduction
DIT’s International Trade Week was a fantastic opportunity for us to launch the event series ‘Europe North meets’. Under this initiative, DIT Nordic and Baltic advisers will engage in trade missions across the UK regions and countries to highlight key opportunities from their markets.
The first stop was the Northern Powerhouse. See below some of these opportunities we shared during the event.

Northern Powerhouse as an investment destination
While the event was mainly focused on trade, there were also key lessons on why the Northern Powerhouse region is a fantastic investment destination for Nordic and Baltic companies.
There is a strong tech ecosystem in Manchester, which supports a range of digital clusters in the region providing strong networks and a business-friendly environment.
Liverpool is a great place for tech and energy businesses. The city has the right size to develop trust and personal relationships and the availability of talent and retention rates are impressive.
