DBT Midlands invites you to join the next phase of our International Trade Peer Network!
The summer programme of activities follows on from our spring launch events and draws inspiration from feedback provided by businesses on what you would like to see from the network going forward. So, you can expect more peer-to-peer learning, more roundtable discussions on topics that matter most to exporters, more information on business support and more opportunities to help set the agenda!
Each event will provide opportunities for you to share, discuss and resolve common business challenges and objectives related to overseas growth with like-minded entrepreneurs and professionals.
There are sessions taking place across the Midlands for either goods or service sector exporters as detailed below.
Places are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Register today to secure yours.
