Register your interest for our virtual trade mission

In collaboration with our trade services partner, OCO Global, Cornwall Trade & Investment is running a virtual trade mission to the UAE.

Are you operating in Cornwall’s food and beverage sector – and looking for your next export opportunity? If so, our virtual trade mission to the United Arab Emirates could be right for you.

What to expect?

The virtual trade mission is designed to give businesses a clear understanding of the UAE market and regulatory landscape, as well as connecting them with potential buyers and customers. The mission comprises of:

A two-day workshop on the 24^th & 25^th March 2021 (approx. 3 hours per day)– where you’ll benefit from market advice and develop key links with potential buyers, customers, and market contacts.

One-to-one meetings – which will include marketing support, referrals curated by OCO, and an introduction to the Department of International Trade’s in-market representatives.

Aftercare support by CTI – to give you everything you need to confidently continue your export journey.

How can I apply?

Any ‘export ready’ SME operating in Cornwall’s food and beverage sector can apply. The event is fully funded by de minimis state aid – but you need to be able to commit fully to the mission.
