Returning to London, GTR’s flagship UK Trade & Export Finance Conference brought close to 500 attendees together to address the UK’s status in the world of global trade from various different viewpoints.

Through multiple streams, onstage debates, roundtables and workshops, speakers detailed new export priorities, considering challenges and opportunities for exporters and highlighting key market opportunities across a range of industry sectors and geographical markets.

The event also hosted the 8th Export Action Plan competition final, a showcase event that saw 10 UK SMEs pitch their plans for export growth to an expert panel of judges, with Bubblebum UK announced as the winner at the close. Find the full report from the Open To Export competition here.
