Following the success of a recent documentation webinar Open to Export, the new digital export advice service from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and hibu plc *, has today announced expert webinar sessions during March to help UK businesses learn more about exporting to Asia.

During March, Open to Export will host two webinars, designed to inform exporters on the ‘golden rules’ and provide expert advice focused around exporting into India and China. The first event takes place on the 21st March at 10.30am, focusing on China, and is followed by another on the 28th March, focusing on India. The webinars are also a chance for exporters to ask a panel of experts questions related to exporting to Asia in general.

A variety of industry specialists and small businesses make up the Asia panel. There will be a mixture of private and public sector specialists alongside small businesses who have ‘been there, done that’ and will be sharing their experiences with attendees. Following the presentations they will be answering questions from exporters having issues or with specific questions related to the various processes and sectors within Asia, live.

An infographic detailing interesting facts and statistics about exporting to Asia will also be available on the website from 11th March to help UK firms identify opportunities to take their products or services overseas.

With such a high demand for the last webinar and limited spaces, attendees should register in advance to reserve a place and avoid disappointment.

A confirmation email will be sent containing all the information needed to join the Webinar once successful registration is complete.
