The need to create a plan to trade internationally is critical for every business that is or plans to, trade with another country.  It pays to map the journey to a goal, think through objectives, and consider both current and future states, against the global context. Looking at how to ensure both visibility and credibility will enable logical trading decisions and, show how to avoid making unwise actions.

This webinar will explore how leaders can develop a successful and sustainable business approach to growth in overseas markets, including how to develop a dedicated team, and reduce the risk of trading internationally.

Globally, women entrepreneurs face compounded challenges to export compared to their male counterparts, such as being less connected to networks of buyers and sellers and accessing key market information. In the framework of the SheTrades Commonwealth+ Programme, funded by the United Kingdom (UK) Government, the International Trade Centre (ITC) will organise a trade mission in Manchester, UK. 

This trade mission aims to bolster efforts to promote UK imports, particularly through building market linkages with developing countries. This enables UK importing companies to diversify suppliers, champion gender-inclusive supply chains, and increase their competitiveness in the UK markets.

This is a fantastic opportunity for members in the fresh and processed agrifood, textiles and apparel, handicrafts, IT and BPO, and beauty sectors.
