The Smart Approach to Exporting
Does your business export, or are you looking to make that first step and expand beyond the UK? Perhaps you have already considered international trade but thought it was best suited to larger businesses?
Exciting opportunities exist for Scottish businesses regardless of exporting experience and business size.
Smart Exporter, a new international trade skills programme offers FREE export support to up-skill and improve the exporting performance of Scottish businesses and individuals.
Smart Exporter aims to:
• Assist in the development of your international strategy
• Provide tailored support and training dependent on your international trade requirements
• Ensure you have a strong understanding of your target market
• Increase your market awareness
Support consists of specialist high quality training and workshops, market awareness events and roadshows, online learning tools and a national helpline; all helping to address your exporting needs. Businesses can expect to access up to £1000 worth of free export training support to your grow business.
IT businesses like Dynamo Games are already benefiting from support from the Smart Exporter programme. The company has moved from being a three-man team to a business of 16 employees and, as its reputation grows internationally, the next step is to open a US office.
