Latin America and the Caribbean is a very diverse region, comprised of over 40 countries, and a total population of over 650 million people, estimated to reach 675 million by the end of 2027. This region has a combined GDP (PPP) that represents circa 6% of the global GDP and there are UK Trade Agreements in place that provide beneficial conditions to motivate exports. With a growing middle class and expanding economies, this region offers many opportunities in a variety of sectors for UK companies… and we can help you make the most out of them. From offering introductions to market overviews and assistance on specific situations, DBT is ready to provide support in your company’s export journey.
This session is aimed for small-and-medium-sized British companies, especially those that:
- Have a turnover of at least £500,000 or more
