WORCESTERSHIRE businesses are being given the chance to explore global export opportunities at a major event being held next month.
New Year, New Markets will see trade specialists from more than 20 countries, and networks representing more than 40 countries.
Organised by the Department for International Trade (DIT), the trade event is open to all small to medium-sized businesses.
This is from experienced exporters looking to expand their global reach to those that have never traded outside of the UK before.
Andy Smith, international relationships manager for DIT West Midlands, said it was a rare opportunity for businesses to meet specialists from so many markets in a single day.
“Getting so many experts under one roof at the same time is a fantastic opportunity for ambitious SMEs based in the area,” he said.
"They’ll be able to target specific markets by setting up one-to-one meetings, browse in our expo zone to see if there are potential leads in markets they’d not thought of before and gain valuable insights into the global outlook for their sector."
The event is being held at the ICC on Friday, February 9.
