The Export Week event, taking place between May 13-17 and organised by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), will provide companies with expert advice on doing business almost anywhere in the world – particularly in high growth markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China. Events are taking place in Leeds, Wakefield, the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham and Hull.

Mark Robson, UKTI regional director for Yorkshire and the Humber, said: “There is a wealth of opportunities in high growth markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, and others such as Colombia, Indonesia and Qatar.
