Latin America has been normally overlooked by British exporters, despite having not only a combined market of over 560 million consumers but experienced a steady growth of between 4-5% a year across the region. The region, once perceived as politically, economically and socially volatile, now enjoys a very much improved climate on all of these fronts, creating unique export opportunities for UK firms.
So come and learn about the Latin America region and the opportunities it offers to North West companies wishing to expand into these markets.
You will also have the opportunity for 1-2-1 Meetings with representatives from K Colombia Trade, the Chilean British Chamber of Commerce and the British Business Mexico, who are part of a UK’s Government Initiative to provide better in-market support to UK firms wishing to export into these high growth emerging markets.
