"A lot has come out of that event - I was expecting to learn but I was not expecting to get so much out of one seminar. It was wonderful to be able to look at the different markets, to speak to the commercial attaches and UKTI staff - their enthusiasm about their market was infectious. They were wonderfully positive, and that I loved".

"What has been helpful is having the people from the embassies there, all together and you can meet them. As long as you are prepared with the questions that worry you most, which might be things like patents and legal issues, then they can take note and point you in the right direction so that when you go back it’s helpful."
