International Trade and Global Marine Opportunities MareNet event, Tuesday 10th February
Venue: Royal Southern Yacht Club, Hamble
February’s MareNet event will launch the findings of Marine South East’s Global Opportunities research.
The research was primarily commissioned to provide the data necessary to support strategic planning by SEEDA, who financed the research, and Marine South East, who commissioned the work with K-Matrix, however the work will also support international activity outlined in the Regional Economic Strategy and provide a baseline against which changes in market share can be measured.
The results will be compiled into a report that will prove extremely beneficial to marine businesses seeking to determine which overseas regions offer the best potential for increased market share. Importantly, the report will identify and evaluate both existing and emerging markets for various sub-sectors.
The report, which is amongst the most comprehensive commissioned in recent years, will be presented in two parts; the first detailing marine sector sales for both South East England and the UK as a whole, and the second providing an overview of world markets.
Other topics to be covered during the event will be an overview of the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region, including SEEDA’s involvement in helping businesses to exploit this market, Marine South East’s strategy for developing markets, and a UKTI case study that demonstrates the effectiveness of UKTI South East’s programmes and schemes for international trade.
Speakers at the event will include:
• Neil Brigden, SEEDA – Middle East & North Africa (MENA)
• Jonathan Williams, Marine South East – Global Opportunities Research findings
• Stephen Sharp, Marine South East – International Trade Strategy
• Christopher Uniacke, UKTI – International trade development case study
This event is equally suited to businesses contemplating dipping a toe into the export pond and those wishing to increase their share of international markets.
Registration for the event will begin at 4.00pm with presentations starting at 4.30pm. The evening will conclude with a networking buffet at 6.30pm.
