International trade can be a daunting but rewarding process.

Economic uncertainty, lack of cultural awareness, regulatory barriers, political uncertainty, and a lack of exporting expertise are considered barriers to export, as is the struggle to find a trusted export partner or finding demand for products in overseas markets.

But there are clearly opportunities, too. Studies have shown that exporting firms are more sustainable, profitable, and resilient. Around 75% of current exporters predict that their export sales will increase in the next 12 months, with almost a quarter saying they anticipated a “significant increase” in sales.

The UK’s Department for Business & Trade is uniquely positioned to help businesses export. In his presentation, Alastair will talk about how accessing DBT support can help your business grow.
