Event Start Date Thursday, March 25, 2021 - 13:00 Event End Date Thursday, March 25, 2021 - 14:00 The Northern Powerhouse Africa Trade Show is the precursor of a larger physical trade exhibition in Manchester taking place in the Autumn – The Northern Powerhouse Africa Trade Conference 2021. It aims to leverage the deep cultural bonds and business connections of the African Diaspora living in the UK to help de-risk market entry through partnerships, introductions and know-how. Home to 1.25 billion people, and with 5 of the 10 fastest growing markets in the world, Africa is a phenomenal trade opportunity for UK business. Our vision is to help de-risk market entry for UK businesses by providing valuable insight and enabling strategic partnerships by plugging into the network of major buyers operating on the African continent. The Northern Powerhouse Africa Trade Show on Thursday 25th March is an exciting two-part event and a precursor to an exciting trade exhibition taking place in Manchester this October – The Northern Powerhouse Africa Trade Conference 2021. We begin with a Trade Showcase where successful exporters, key figures from business and Her Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for Africa will set the current scene for business in Africa and share information on what support is available from the UK Department for International Trade in the North and UK Export Finance. The showcase is followed by an interactive Meet the Buyers Roundtable event where export-ready companies who are looking to grow their business have the opportunity to pitch their products and services to potential buyers and partners as well as access specialist support and resources to export with confidence.
