Celebrating British Business Success in Asia

Are you a UK business currently trading in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand or Vietnam? Could you inspire other companies with your story of success?
Would you like to have your success celebrated? Are you willing to share your experiences and advice with other businesses thinking of exporting to Asia?

UKTI’s Asia Task Force are looking for the most inspiring UK-based companies from all industry sectors to demonstrate the success of, and demand for, UK innovation, products and services in 12 of the most dynamic markets in Asia. This showcase of UK business success will help to raise awareness of the opportunities that exist across the Asian markets, and inspire and motivate others to grow and expand their business there.
 

Why Should I take part?

You’ve already read some of the great stories featured on the UKTI website. Like those businesses, each company featured in the showcase will tell their own story of doing business in Asia; highlighting the challenges and rewards to encourage others to follow in their footsteps. Being accepted into the showcase could deliver real benefits which include:

• Profile opportunities within the Asia Task Force campaign, reaching a wide UK and international business audience
• Profile across UKTI / FCO website and social media outlets and within export resources
• Potential participation in campaign events throughout 2012/13 including an exclusive event for showcase members in March 2013.
