20th October - Exporting Opportunities in Egypt

With its rapidly increasing population, advantageous geographic position and growing economy, Egypt is a market with a lot to offer...

Its strategic location linking the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia make it an ideal global business hub and its free trade agreements with the EU, Africa and the Gulf give favoured access to regional growth markets in the Middle East and Africa. The new bilateral trade agreement between the UK and Egypt - which will replace the EU agreement following EU exit - is in its final stage of negotiations.

21st October - Virtual Market Briefing - Czech Republic

Join this event co-hosted with our colleagues from the DIT team in the Czech Republic.
