GOING GLOBAL: PARTNERING FOR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS GROWTH

Considering the UK and the US are the largest investors in each other’s countries, with US investment in the UK at $508.4 billion and UK investment in the US at $432.5 billion as of 2010, the UK is well placed to act as springboard to the world for companies seeking to grow their business through international expansion.

British American Business Council North Carolina partnering with Bank Of America, the North Carolina Department of Commerce and UK Trade & Investment, “Going Global: Partnering for International Business Growth” will discuss the issues, challenges and opportunities Carolinas based companies should consider when seeking to grow through international expansion.

The symposium will be divided into two tracks:

Export Ready – targeted to companies seeking to diversify revenues through international sales via agents and distributors;

Global Ready – aimed at those companies seeking to establish or expand overseas presence.

Targeted towards senior business leaders responsible for growth and strategy, this half day event will address topics such as the current global financial outlook, international growth strategies for SMEs, financing for exporters and managing risk through diversifying revenues, all aimed at helping Carolinas based companies identify the partners who can best support business growth abroad.

The British American Business Council, North Carolina and UK Trade & Investment hope you will be able to join us for this exciting seminar.

We look forward to seeing you there!
