Update on Connecting with our Global Network 

In our last issue you’ll remember we discussed our ongoing work connecting Essex businesses with our global network. We facilitated meetings with organisations from Western Australia and the Bulgarian Chambers of Commerce and we are delighted to announce we’ll be launching a series of webinars exploring the opportunities available to your business in these regions.

On Wednesday 11th September join our team and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce & Industry Western Australia and the Government of Western Australia's European office for our Discovering opportunities in Western Australia webinar. This hour-long webinar is free for our Members to attend and will explore investment-ready projects in the region as well as Free Trade Agreements. You can read more on the FTA between the UK and Australia in our dedicated article

Dates for the Bulgarian opportunities webinar will be revealed soon and we’ll update you once bookings open. 

The work doesn’t stop there for our department. Angela Turner, our International Trade Manager, has recently been in talks with representatives from South Africa and East Africa to explore the potential for collaborations.
