Join The Entrepreneurs Network and the Department for Business and Trade for a discussion on overcoming barriers to exporting for SMEs.

Ahead of last year's General Election, the Labour Party published its Plan for Small Business. Now in power, they are translating the ideas it set out into a Small Business Strategy with an aim of increasing productivity and growth within Britain's 5.5 million small businesses.

In light of this, this virtual event will bring together founders of SMEs to discuss some of the barriers they face in selling overseas. We will explore the following questions:

• What have you found are the key challenges in reaching overseas markets?  

• What support or advice would you like to see, or have benefited from, to help you export?

This event is for founders of current or former exporting companies.
