Meet the Market: Belgium Skype Surgery
Organiser
One of the best parts of exporting is the chance to travel the world, growing your business while you're at it. Of course, visiting a market and meeting face to face with new contacts is one of the best ways to develop a successful business relationship - but we realise that this isn't always possible.
That's why we are working with our network of contacts based at British Embassies around the world arranging for them to visit the West Midlands, giving businesses the chance to meet commercial specialists on their doorstep at an event or via a 1:1 Skype meeting.
