New Scheme Helps North East Firms Expand Their Horizons
North East firms can now benefit from even greater assistance to help them move into new overseas markets, with the launch of “Horizons” – a new £1 million programme from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), One North East and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2007-13.
Horizons is open to companies who wish to target high-growth overseas markets and will provide them with support to develop and implement a market entry plan. Working with a dedicated UKTI International Trade Adviser, firms can apply for a Horizons grant to assist with a range of activities, such as participating in exhibitions and trade fairs; help with translation and language services; export skills development training; and, in some cases, assistance to help ensure a product complies with the standards required by a particular market.
