ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS
Research shows that small and medium-sized businesses that export achieve higher turnover growth, innovate more, and create more jobs; but exposure to international competition also brings challenges and risks.
These sessions are designed to help businesses explore the benefits, challenges, and fundamental stages of becoming successful exporters. You will also learn how the UK Export Academy can help give you the know-how to sell to customers around the world by learning from experts in international trade.
Open for all, whether your business is interested in starting to sell internationally or looking to grow your international sales further.
