As well as showcasing cutting-edge innovations, the event gives delegates the opportunity to meet international buyers, investors, retailers, research centres and universities for one-on-one meetings as well as take advantage of the Support Zone, where UK business support organisations will help UK and international businesses innovate, expand and collaborate within the UK and overseas. The Support Zone will offer an informal drop-in advice facility giving you the chance to speak directly with organisations that exist to help your business grow globally.

There will also be a full programme of speakers discussing innovation and how it can be fostered in the UK.
