The Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT) and Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) have partnered to deliver a bespoke training programme to teach businesses how to successfully trade between India, UK and the EU.
The primary objective of this new training programme is to connect businesses and provide in-depth knowledge and understanding related to doing business in and between the Indian, UK and EU markets.
Senior executive programme
Marco Forgione, director general of the IOE&IT, said: “Our partnership with IIFT is focused initially on a senior executive training programme and is very much just the start of what we hope will be a fruitful relationship.
Indian and UK demand
“There's a great eagerness within India for businesses to understand how they can trade more effectively both with the UK and the EU and that's information, support and guidance that we're providing. There's also a huge demand from UK businesses to understand how they can trade more effectively with India.”
Supporting India
He continued: “Export, import and international trade more generally, is going to be fundamental – not just to transforming the UK economy, but also supporting India as it develops and grows its presence globally. There is a huge wealth of opportunity to bring together and unite businesses in India and the UK.”
Whether your business is considering trade between India and UK or EU markets as an option for growth or if it is already established in this area, this course will upskill attendees in managing the intricacies of this trade and help develop an in-depth understanding of how to maximise opportunities.
