What the UK Business Centre Lille can offer your business?

Business Development Unit (BDU), the Centre for Social and Sustainable Enterprise (CSSE) at the Open University, and TIN Ventures are hosting an event which offers your business bespoke and tailored support to access new European (EU) markets.

This event will announce the launch of the Business Export Exchange Programme (BEEP) in collaboration with the UK Business Centre Lille. This British Chamber of Commerce was created with the support of the UK Department for Business and Trade to enable British companies to overcome any post-Brexit barriers they face when accessing the EU market, with many experiencing delays at the border, longer administrative procedures, language barriers and high legal and labour costs.

The UK Business Centre Lille will provide information about the tailored support available for established export-ready UK businesses and entrepreneurs with specific details on how you can leverage a range of incentives designed specifically to ensure a smooth transition into the French or other EU markets.

The interactive agenda will focus on sharing market insights and explaining an exciting range of export-ready benefits with a core focus on:

• Showcasing a wide range of service providers and specialists versed in all things trade and investment related including tax, logistics, and customs.
• Access to subsidised co-working space within 5-minutes walk from the Lille Eurostar terminal.
• Free, confidential, and cost-effective bespoke support services designed specifically to help British companies expand into high growth sectors and grow local supply chains located within the Hauts-de-France region.

There will be refreshments on arrival, and throughout the day. Lunch will be provided.
