Overseas Trade Missions and Market Visits

Understanding your market and its culture is key to successful exporting. Market Visits help you successfully pursue business opportunities through our global network.

Throughout the year we coordinate a large number of market and sector specific visits to various countries, and with support of your International Trade Adviser you can make strategic and timely decisions about which visits are best suited to your business. The overseas missions include visits to international exhibitions, as well as fact finding market and sector specific visits.

As many of these trips are heavily subsidised, the cost of exploring new markets is minimised, making contacting customers, agents, and distributors really cost effective.

Forthcoming market visits can be found in our events section
