All UK companies from any region can participate in the Department for International Trade’s (DIT) supported events at trade shows. We advertise events on Event Hub on GREAT.gov.uk and through our international trade advisers who are based across the country, including the North East.

In addition, the North East benefits from participation in the specific DIT Northern Powerhouse (NPH) trade missions programme. The DIT North East team work closely with northern organisations and the UK’s global HMG network to assist companies who are participating in any trade mission, either NPH or national.

We do not intend to place a map of the UK on trade show stands.
