US-UK SME Dialogue
22 June 2022
Our community welcomed the recent announcement that a new US-UK SME Dialogue will be held next month in Boston on June 22. The revival of the SME Dialogue is a welcome outcome of the US-UK Dialogues on the Future of Transatlantic Trade held earlier this year and has been a top priority for our community, including in BAB’s 2021-2022 Policy Agenda.
The Dialogue is an incredibly valuable opportunity to engage with key government stakeholders to advance cooperation in areas of particular importance to SMEs, as well as an opportunity to access practical support and resources to help in business expansion. BAB has been an official partner to previous SME Dialogues and looks forward to bringing another strong group from our network to the revived Dialogue this June.
Topics for discussion include opportunities for US-UK SME trade and cooperation in emerging technologies; global expansion best practices for US and UK companies; access to capital for SME global expansion; and trade resources for small businesses. The event will also feature opportunities for attendees to engage in discussion with trade experts or learn about tools and resources to grow their businesses internationally.
BAB has been an official partner to previous SME Dialogue and looks forward to supporting this initiative when it is launched later this year. If you are interested in attending or supporting the Dialogue, please contact Dagny Ahrend at dahrend@babinc.org
