The Transatlantic Business Forum

The Transatlantic Business Forum

The Transatlantic Business Forum, hosted by Deyton Bell, will provide expert advice, opinion and information on key issues encountered when exploring and growing transatlantic business, and will provide the option for delegates to meet US and UK experts who can help develop trade and investment opportunities involving the US.

Why The US?

The US has the largest and most powerful economy in the world and is the leading single market for nearly every significant business sector. The UK is the largest foreign investor in the US and the US remains Britain’s largest single export market. The UK and US have always enjoyed a “special commercial relationship” but in recent times this familiar market has sometimes been overlooked in favour of newly emerging opportunities elsewhere. The Transatlantic Business Forum aims to reinvigorate interest in the US.

Who Should Attend?

The Transatlantic Business Forum is a must for anyone who is considering or involved in US business development.

It will highlight the vast US trade and investment opportunities available to UK companies and will explore key issues, actions and strategies that need to be considered when engaging with the highly competitive and lucrative US market. Directors and Senior Managers who want to find out more about the opportunities that exist or who want their organisations to succeed when doing business with the US should attend.

Benefits

The Transatlantic Business Forum offers delegates a rare chance to learn from an expert panel with considerable experience of “Doing Business in the US”. It will provide introductions to commercially useful contacts, will highlight support available in the US and the UK and will offer opportunities to network and develop business.
