The government-backed roadshows aim to directly connect international buyers with SME exporters ready to seize the opportunity to grow their businesses.

Whether you are exploring trading internationally for the first time or looking to expand your global presence, if you have an export ready product or service, these events could help you accelerate your approach to new markets by building your confidence and providing you with the information you need to fast-track your global growth.

Each roadshow will include a commercial zone of sector specialists and buyers, business support zone, and a seminar programme led by senior Department for Business and Trade representatives.

They are open to businesses in all sectors, of all shapes and sizes, at any stage of their exporting journey. Each roadshow has a different sector spotlight, but is open to all sectors.
