Events from Scotland Office in partnership with local chambers of commerce in Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh and Inverness will 'turn Scottish business export potential into reality'
Scottish businesses are set to benefit from expert insight and guidance about exporting to the EU at a series of UK Government events this month.
The Scotland Office will host two-day sessions in Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh and Inverness, aimed primarily at Scottish small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to either re-establish their presence in Europe or begin exporting to EU countries for the first time.
Delivered in partnership with local Chambers of Commerce, UK Business Centre Lille, the Department for Business and Trade, Scottish Enterprise, and British Chambers of Commerce from the Netherlands, the EU Export Masterclasses will combine guidance on customs, regulations, product standards with market-intelligence sharing and sessions on accessing finance.
Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander said:
Minister for Trade Chris Bryant said:
The masterclasses will enable Scottish businesses to take advantage of the UK’s landmark 2025 trade agreement with the EU.
By significantly cutting the red tape that previously burdened exporters, this deal has streamlined the movement of food and drink products and removed many routine sanitary checks on animal and plant goods. This progress sits alongside other major trade successes secured by the UK Government over the past year, including deals with the US, India and South Korea.
To provide targeted and tailored advice, each city will also focus on two key sectors which are particularly pertinent. Details are below alongside dates and links where businesses can register to attend.
