Details

The Department for International Trade (DIT) is launching a new Export Strategy to support British businesses looking to export to the global market. Our ambition is to strengthen our position as one of the 21st century’s great trading nations.

Building on the Industrial Strategy and the government’s trade, foreign policy and development agenda, the strategy sets out how the government will support businesses of all sizes to make the most of export opportunities around the world.

The strategy details how government, in partnership with other providers of export support in the public and private sector, can help businesses overcome the barriers to exporting. It sets out 5 principles, developed through consultation with business, which define how we will engage with exporters and what they can expect of us.
