DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE EXPORT SUPPORT Academic research confirms that exporting companies are more productive than non exporters. They achieve stronger financial performance and are more likely to stay in business. Doing business overseas can lead directly to growth, improvements in efficiency levels and ideas for new products and services. Once a company has started to export to a new market this tends to increase confidence and ambition, leading to further growth. To find out more on how exporting can benefit your business and the services (DIT) provides to help your company reach its full export potential, please visit www.gov.uk/basics-of-exporting. Department for International Trade Events & Missions The Department for International Trade (DIT) is a UK Government department working with businesses based in the United Kingdom to ensure their success in international markets, and encourage the best overseas companies to look to the UK as their global partner of choice. Events are one of the most effective ways to support companies that are looking for overseas trade opportunities. The DIT Events Portal provides a single calendar view of all DIT Events and Missions, and has been developed to provide companies with more detailed information on each event in order to help them decide on the most appropriate event to attend. The calendar can be filtered and searched by sector and/or market. To discover forthcoming DIT events, please visit www.events.ukti.gov.uk The Trade Show Access Programme provides funding in the form of grants for eligible businesses to attend overseas trade shows. The funding helps business to gain market knowledge, experience in attending and getting the most from overseas trade shows, and advice and support from trade experts.
