Round Table: Going Global?

As international markets evolve and new trade opportunities emerge, North East businesses are perfectly placed to think global. But scaling beyond the UK brings both promise and complexity, so where do you begin?

Join us for an honest and engaging round table hosted by Ammar Mirza CBE, serial entrepreneur, policy influencer and the driving force behind several regional initiatives that help businesses grow, including the newly launched International Space Station (ISS) at AirView Park and ISS Freeports Teesside.

Whether you’re interested in learning if your business could expand into international markets or going global is already part of your plan, this is your chance to gain clarity, ask questions and learn from those who’ve been there.

We’ll shape the conversation around topics such as:

How to Take the First Step into Global Markets
We’ll open up a discussion on the practicalities of going global – from identifying the right markets to navigating logistics, building partnerships and understanding cultural differences.

Making Global Trade Work for Your Business
We’ll explore the potential benefits of exporting, including increased brand credibility, new revenue streams, business resilience and access to funding.

The Common Pitfalls to Avoid
We’ll talk openly about the typical challenges of international growth, from compliance and regulation to financial risk, and share experiences on how others have approached them.

This round table is ideal for business owners who are curious about international growth and ready to explore what going global could mean for them.

Come away with practical insights, new connections and the confidence to take your next steps on the global stage.

The Small Print 
Our round tables are shaped by the insights and experiences of attendees, so while we aim to cover the topics above, we may also dive into other related areas during the session.

Due to limited capacity round table discussions are exclusively for entrepreneur members only. Guests or substitutions are not allowed.
