Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether her Department still intends to host a green trade and investment expo in autumn 2022.

The Green Trade and Investment Expo (GTIE) remains a key event in the Government’s drive towards net zero and a greener economy. GTIE is a chance to showcase the investment and export opportunities presented by HMG’s focus on these areas. It will be central to clean growth trade activity, coinciding with International Trade Week and just ahead of COP27, where the UK will once again showcase our innovative green companies.

GTIE will demonstrate UK leadership in capitalising on the environmental business and clean growth opportunities available in the UK. The northeast location is also important to HMG’s levelling up agenda.
