Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to increase export opportunities for SMEs.

Asked by:
Chris Curtis (Labour)

Answer

This government is determined to get even more small and medium sized firms exporting.

Last month, we launched the Enhanced Trade Partnership with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. This partnership pilots a focused export support scheme designed to offer unparalleled targeted support to accelerate business growth through selling their products and services overseas. We have launched Unlock Europe, a new export programme designed to help UK businesses build stronger relationships with European customers.

As part of our work on a new trade strategy and a small business strategy, we are looking at further proposals to help our businesses export more.
