Today we are proud to announce the launch of the UK International Trade Partnership Forum.
International trade is changing. Businesses are looking beyond traditional markets, supply chains are evolving, and the need for stronger international collaboration has never been greater.
The Forum has been established to bring together government departments, chambers of commerce, trade associations, business organisations, professional bodies and strategic commercial partners, to strengthen international trade through collaboration.
Our vision
To build a connected ecosystem of organisations working together: identifying new market opportunities, strengthening international trade corridors, sharing expertise, and creating practical commercial opportunities for UK businesses.
This is not another trade association. It is not another networking group. It is a collaborative platform where organisations contribute their knowledge, expand their international networks and help shape stronger trade relationships between the UK and global markets.
Where we are now
We are already in discussions with organisations in the UK and internationally — exploring collaboration, identifying priority sectors and emerging market opportunities, and encouraging closer cooperation between chambers of commerce, international trade organisations, business associations and commercial partners.
Over the coming months we will continue inviting organisations from around the world to join, helping to create an international ecosystem that supports businesses, encourages investment and delivers real commercial outcomes.
The inaugural Forum, October 2026
The first UK International Trade Partnership Forum is planned for early October 2026, bringing together organisations from across the UK and international markets to discuss collaboration, identify future opportunities and begin building stronger trade partnerships.
Further details, speakers and participating organisations will be announced shortly.
Working with us
If your organisation is involved in international trade, exports, investment, manufacturing, logistics, finance or business support, we would be glad to hear from you — whether that is exploring a strategic partnership, participating in the inaugural Forum, or simply starting a conversation.
We believe the future of international trade will be built through collaboration, stronger partnerships and shared expertise.
