Business Development Visits

Business Development Visits represent a unique opportunity to meet our staff from around the world. The Commercial Officers are experts in their local conditions, but have sector specialty experience.

A Business Development Visit (BDV) allows a Commercial offer to learn about UK’s industry, and in turn they are able to offer advice on possible opportunities in their individual markets, supply chain issues, key local contacts, and doing business generally.

Make use of the local knowledge of our worldwide staff who can trace agents, distributors and other contacts in new markets on your behalf.

Make use of UKTI's market research service which will put you in touch with these experts.
