How this connects to your mission

Several of these programmes — in particular the trade-mission, buyer-mission and market-research supports under the UR-GE framework — relate directly to the kind of structured B2B mission Trade Week Global runs. Whether a specific mission or activity qualifies depends on your company and the organizing cooperation body. We're glad to point delegates to the right official channel.
