🌍 Empowering women to go global

An all-women trade mission to the Netherlands has been announced to help tackle Scotland’s “gender export gap” and support more women-led businesses to expand internationally.

Led by the Scottish Chambers of Commerce in partnership with the Scottish Government, the mission will:
• Build confidence and global networks
• Provide market insights and trade opportunities
• Help women-led businesses showcase their products and services

With Scotland’s exports potentially increasing by billions if more women exported, this initiative is a major step toward unlocking that growth.

📅 Taking place 26–28 May 2026

Women-led businesses interested in joining the mission can find further details and register their interest by contacting Stuart Hamilton at the Scottish Chambers of Commerce (shamilton@scottishchambers.org.uk) or the international team at the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce (international@edinburghchamber.co.uk).
