Explore Export: FTA Opportunities

Explore Export

Free Trade Agreement Opportunities

Since leaving the EU, the UK government has negotiated a Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the EU and Free Trade Agreements or Continuity Trade Agreements with over 60 countries /markets around the world from the Palestinian Authority to Peru, Iceland to South Africa, and Japan to Canada. 

Register here to be able to request 20 minute meetings with generalist export growth or sector specialist Trade Advisers from over 20 of those markets to explore export opportunities for your product or service there. 

In the cases of Latin America and Africa, an adviser covering the whole of Latin America (or quarter of Africa) will have an initial discussion and then refer you on to market specialists. 

You can also request a meeting with our Business Culture and Communications Adviser who can help you understand business cultures, decision making styles, cultural preferences and quirks in different markets so you don’t make expensive, rookie mistakes when entering a new market.

Furthermore you can also request a meeting with a UK Export Finance Manager. UKEF is the government's export credit agency and has a range of finance and insurance products designed to help you win contracts, fulfil orders and get paid.

Keep an eye on the Confirmed Markets tab as more countries and specialist advisers may have registered and completed profiles after you did.

Why take part?
This is a great opportunity for Midlands companies to showcase their products or services with Commercial Officers and DIT overseas partners / advisers
