About this Session

The UK has an excellent story to tell regarding chemical exports with £40bn worth of export business in 2023.

Official UK trade missions are an important activity of support, led by DBT in the UK and overseas, which give UK companies a specific programme of activity designed to increase their knowledge of a market and get face to face interaction with important stakeholders, potential customers, and partners. This panel session will discuss recent successful missions to Turkey and India and explore the benefits of UK companies taking advantage of this support.
