Tradeshow Access Programme

Taking part in overseas exhibitions is an effective way for you to test markets, attract customers, appoint agents or distributors and make sales. UKTI’s Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP) provides grant support for eligible SME firms to attend trade shows overseas.

Participation is usually as part of a group, a great advantage for inexperienced businesses, and is usually led by one of our Accredited Trade Association (ATOs). ATOs work with UKTI to raise the profile of UK groups and sectors at key exhibitions. View our events calendar for 2012 - 2013 and 2013 - 2014.
