If you weren't
able to attend our
AGM/Networking event in January then you
missed a treat. A 'Taste of India' didn't
just serve up a tasty curry but
also gave a key insight into doing
business in that country thanks
to presentations given by our speakers
including the Indian Consul General to
Birmingham, C Gururaj Rao.
The recent
events delivered by MWTF in support of
UKTI's 'Gateway to Global
Growth' programme have been very
popular. The events, held at different
venues around the region, have covered a
wide range of topics from Managing Export Debt
to Export Communications, Protecting your IPR to
Export Market Research. The format
included a mini-exhibition giving delegates the
opportunity to talk to a select number of
companies providing international trade related
services. There are plans to run more of
this type of event, so we'll keep you
posted. | | |
