Background

The US-UK trade relationship is unique. 250 years after independence, the ties that bind our two nations are stronger than ever – economically, culturally and politically.

Join GM Business Growth Hub and the State Level Trade and Investment Team – US Directorate from the Department for Business, Innovation, Science & Trade, together with colleagues from the Texas commercial office in London and Austin, for a morning on the opportunities and challenges of doing business with the UK's largest international trading partner.

You'll hear from US and UK trade leads and meet other businesses with US ambitions. The session will also cover opportunities with the team representing Texas in the UK, public procurement in the US and the wider trade landscape.
