Export Insight Paris and Export Insight Benelux (Brussels) are co-ordinated by UKTI in the East of England. The Paris visit will take place from Wednesday, 30 January to Friday, 1 February 2013 and the Brussels visit from 4-6 February 2013.
Both are supported by the Alliance Française de Cambridge, experts in teaching French for business. A registered charity, the Alliance Française de Cambridge will help you understand not only the language but the all-important cultural differences that can make such a difference to clinching business deals. Please visit the website for more information.
It is becoming more and more important for companies in the UK to explore opportunities internationally. The Alliance Française de Cambridge has been continuously developing and redesigning its courses to ensure that a second language can be learned successfully by everyone. It says: "We believe that language development is important and can really help anyone expand their horizons. We are committed to raising awareness of the benefits of learning languages, not only French, but any language.”
The Export Insight Visits aim to introduce novice and non-exporters to the principles of international trade so that they can go on to grow internationally.
If you haven’t exported before, you will probably have lots of questions and be unsure where to start. UKTI is here to help you by providing a low-cost and accessible way to expand your business horizons. These visits will enable you to experience first-hand the support available in the UK and from British Embassies and partners overseas to enable you to do more business internationally. There is a nominal fee of £99 +VAT for each visit.
UKTI will organise and pay for group travel and accommodation, group meals and group activity in market. You will need to fund your travel to the point of departure and cover the cost of other food and drink, public transport and any additional costs.
