West Midlands exports to the UAE have grown by 30% over the past two years, with little sign that this demand, for the high-quality high-precision highly reliable products the West Midlands produces, will slacken. Indeed as the economies of the UAE intensify moves to diversify, fresh export opportunities are becoming available . To find out how you can take advantage of these new demands, it is recommended that you attend one of our regional UAE Briefings.

Karen Williams, Deputy Director, UKTI Dubai, will also be available for 1-2-1 Export Clinics meetings to discuss your companies potential in this market (to book a meeting call 07703 735 408)
