By UK Trade and Investment
UK technology companies can show off their innovation to global giants like Panasonic, Hitachi, Nokia and Kayagura Health Solutions at the UK’s largest business-matching TechnologyWorld09.
Held in Coventry from 23 to 24 November, the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) event will provide companies with a platform to build new international business with already almost 100 overseas companies signed up to attend.
Last year TechnologyWorld generated an estimated £30 million in deals almost all (93%) of the international businesses from 38 countries that took part said they were likely to increase their trade with UK businesses as a result of attending.
UK Trade & Investment’s Chief Executive Sir Andrew Cahn said:
“TechnologyWorld just gets better and better every year. The UK is able to attract top buyers because of its track record of innovation and excellence in technology. For the UK firms attending, whether SMEs or larger firms, these meetings can be their springboard for global growth.”
TechnologyWorld09 is considerably enhanced from last year with an expanded exhibition and a world-class conference programme that will provide industry insight and foresight. Attendees can arrange one-to-one meetings with companies of interest prior to the event through the online meeting facility and sign up to relevant sessions of the conference programme.
