Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething, has today (25 January 2023) unveiled a packed programme of Welsh Government international trade missions for spring 2023, lending his support to Welsh businesses travelling the world in the next few months to develop their exports.
The announcement is made as the latest business delegation from Wales travel to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the Middle-East’s largest medical trade show, Arab Health, on 28 January 2023. The Med Tech businesses will be joined by businesses from a variety of sectors seeking to explore opportunities in this global trade hub.
In March, Welsh businesses will be visiting Dublin to meet with potential new clients and partners, as part of a series of activities to promote Wales internationally around St. David’s Day. Ireland is the 4th most popular destination for Welsh exports and presents great opportunity for businesses across all sectors.
In addition, the Welsh Government’s agency supporting the creative industries in Wales, Creative Wales, is leading a mission to support businesses at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2023 in San Francisco. The delegation at GDC will be joined by other Welsh businesses looking to develop their exports in the San Francisco Bay area, a part of California with a GDP of over half a trillion US dollars.
From April, the Welsh Government will lead seven new trade missions to five countries across three continents. The markets and exhibitions in the programme have been selected to reflect current international developments which present real opportunities for Welsh businesses.
Visiting the export market itself can be a crucial element of winning and maintaining business, whether it be visiting an exhibition or networking with potential customers and Welsh Government is inviting Wales’ exporters to sign up to attend.
The full 2023 to 2024 programme will be announced in March as the Explore Export Wales Conference returns to the Cardiff City Stadium on 9 March and the Village Hotel, Deeside on the 16 March 2023.
