Seizing international opportunities

5 January 2009

The total value of the low carbon and environmental goods and services sector in the UK is estimated to be £106.5 billion, however, with the value of the global sector around £3 trillion, there is a massive opportunity for exporting overseas.

With the involvement of Envirotrade- Environmental Technologies Reaching Overseas Markets, a new initiative from East of England International (EEI), businesses in the region are getting a helping hand to enhance their international trade strategies.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular experience difficulties overcoming barriers to international expansion, and for many businesses preparing to export can often be a daunting prospect. However, Environtrade looks to support SMEs and larger organisations engaged in environmental technology to obtain a significant market share in a new or expanding overseas market.
