Yorkshire Forward, in association with UK Trade and Investment (UKTI), is targeting international businesses who are looking for suppliers to attend 'Going Global – Meet the Buyer Event 2010', which will take place on March 17 at the Events Centre, The Great Yorkshire Show Ground, in Harrogate.

The event will provide the opportunity for more than 500 regional businesses with export potential to meet buyers looking for their products or services.

Theresa Lindsay, Assistant Director of Business at Yorkshire Forward, said: "The international companies lined up for the event have a wide range of purchasing requirements, which means the opportunities for regional businesses are vast.
