New Chairman For Emita

Nottingham's Susan Hallam, explains why rising exports from the region doesn’t mean we can reduce our efforts.

The Olympics is set to showcase all that is great about Britain, from engineering to science, from arts to fashion as well as, we hope, gold-winning demonstrations from Team GB.

In conjunction with key business support partners, UKTI would like to invite you to celebrate the creativity and innovation of Derbyshire-based companies and learn how they have approached and succeeded in lucrative overseas markets.

These companies have recognised that exporting is a viable means of business growth in difficult times. Could you do the same?

· Find out what business support is available from organisations based in the county, including: MAS, Growth Accelerator and UKTI.

· Hear how a Derbyshire business has succeeded in the international arena;

· Participate in a facilitated panel discussion featuring four successful exporters, telling you about their journey so far;

· Network with like-minded businesses;

· Take a look at the range of products and services that are currently
'making it' internationally in our exhibition area.
