About This Event

Greater Manchester’s Trade Missions programme is set to return for 2026/27, providing local businesses with a structured pathway into international markets. The first session will take place on 1 October 2026, with the venue still to be confirmed. These events are free to attend and are aimed specifically at companies based in the region that are ready to expand their operations globally. Participants will have the chance to explore potential target markets, hear directly from businesses that have previously taken part in the programme, and network with trade specialists as well as fellow exporters. Designed to offer practical advice and valuable connections, the initiative supports firms at various stages of their export journey, from those taking their first steps abroad to more experienced traders looking to grow further. By combining expert insight with real-world experience, the programme seeks to equip Greater Manchester’s businesses with the tools and confidence needed to succeed on the global stage.
