Market Entry beyond the UK

GTM Global's ecosystem includes a network of international trade partners in the USA, Europe, Middle East, East Asia & Australia. This means we are not restricted to UK-only bi-lateral trade flow and can deploy our proven workshop programme and virtual trade mission services from any city or region in those geographies.

Indeed, in 2021, we have begun a series of workshops to support scaleups in France, Belgium and Nordics, looking to establish a presence in the US & Canada. We are also taking some of the delegates involved, into the Middle East. For EDOs, FDIs and other international trade bodies, these city-to-city and region-to-region opportunities represent a significant growth opportunity and post COVID there has never been a better time to join the GTM Global Ecosystem.
