Germany is the UK’s second largest export market for goods and services and the epicenter of EU trade opportunities. It is forecast by trade and business analysts alike as having great potential for trade growth.
North Rhine-Westphalia is located in the heartland of Germany and is responsible for a fifth of Germany’s gross domestic product, making it one of Europe’s most important economic regions.
In this 1-hr webinar you’ll hear from representatives of NRW.Global Business, the region’s Trade and Investment Agency, to hear about the opportunities for UK tech firms to use the region as a springboard to doing business in the EU Single Market.
A legal expert will outline the legal fundamentals for companies wanting to grow in Germany and to answer any post-Brexit questions regarding doing business in Germany.
The session is particularly relevant for technology driven companies working in smart and sustainable energy, future mobility and logistics, smart cities, and the connected homes sectors, and those working in IoT, AI/ML and Digital Twins.
