Virtual International Trade Mission To Belgium

Forth Valley Chamber of Commerce (FVCC) is now preparing their third Virtual Trade Mission to Belgium this October, and they would love Inverclyde businesses to join them.

Belgium is one of Britain’s top 10 global markets and is an ideal starting place for Scottish companies looking to expand into Europe.

Belgium is the ideal Tester Market – it is an open and dynamic market with plenty of opportunities for high-value products and services and English is an accepted business language. It has been said that if your product is successful in Belgium it’s a good indicator that you will also be successful in the rest of Europe.

This mission offers opportunities to:

Find out more about the Belgian Economy
Make connections with people and organisations that can support your exporting strategy
Connect with Belgian businesses and potential purchasers or trading partners

Key sectors in Belgium include high-quality Food & Drink, Pharmaceuticals, Bio-Science and Environmental Technology/Clean Energy.

Prior to the main mission, FVCC will be holding a Pre-Mission Briefing on September 29th, which will give an overview on trading with Belgium, and provide delegates with the opportunity to connect with one another before the mission. The Main mission will take place on Wednesday 27^th and Thursday 28^th October.

The Pre-Mission Briefing will also provide participants with valuable background information on the economy and culture and general opportunities available for trading in Belgium as well as what you will have to consider as you prepare to export.

The Mission will be a highly subsidised £100+VAT for Chamber Members and £125+VAT for non-members.

If you would like to know more or register for the Mission you can visit Export Hub Scotland, or get in touch with Forth Valley Chamber’s International Trade Manager Margaret Mary Rafferty.
