    UKTI

    We attended the UK Trade & Industry (UKTI) seminar last week. This was helping comapnies import/ export.

    the seminar was poor in places but had some good topics. For us there were potentially somee new forms of funding available. Key things fro us incluided:

    1. Fund or helping companies who are technology spin outs from Universities funded by Finance South East. This type of activity is on of our target markets.

    2. We export and every time we gain a client we also help them import to the UK as we set up their business in the UK.

    3. We need to partner with UKTI so that our market entry model - which is a hybrid compromise between setting up your own operation and setting up distributors - the sales outsourced solution - should be something they know about and alert their clients to the possibilities of.
