Take your business global with trade missions and exhibitions

Taking part in trade exhibitions and missions is a great way to grow your business in new markets.

We attend exhibitions across the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Americas, India, the Middle East, and Africa - key emerging markets for Northern Ireland businesses. These events offer valuable opportunities to engage with customers, build new partnerships, and strengthen existing ones.

We also organise trade missions to help you explore new markets, connect with buyers, and expand your network.

By joining trade missions and exhibitions, you can access new opportunities, strengthen relationships, and accelerate your business’s global growth.
