British diplomacy programme launches to support business growth
The new Global Network Programme aims to help businesses better understand the markets they are investing in.
Participants will hear from top diplomats, ambassadors, senior policymakers, and experts from leading UK academic institutions on a range of topics including diplomacy, security, trade, geopolitics and emerging technology.
This assistance is offered with the aim of promoting growth domestically driven by international expansion, by helping companies make investment decisions confidently as they expand on the world stage.
The aim is to build lasting international networks and gain a deeper understanding of overseas markets and opportunities. While building a two-way relationship, where UK diplomats build long-term links with businesses and international partners and stronger insight into the opportunities and challenges facing UK firms.
Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, says, ‘In a more competitive and uncertain world, the countries and businesses that succeed will be those with the strongest international networks and the clearest understanding of the geopolitical, economic and technological forces shaping the world economy.’
