Government Trade

Supporting government trade agencies to promote exports, facilitate trade missions, and develop trade relationships across Asian markets

Asia Market Opportunity

  • Asia’s share of global trade continues to grow — ASEAN, China, Japan, and India collectively represent the world’s most active trade and export destination region
  • UK and European government trade agencies are increasingly prioritising Asia as a target market for export promotion, given the region’s size and growth trajectory
  • Trade promotion organisations are under pressure to deliver measurable outcomes — requiring specialist in-market research, business matching, and mission management capabilities
  • Singapore’s position as ASEAN’s trade hub makes it the natural base for UK trade agencies seeking regional coverage and market intelligence across Southeast Asia

How We Help

  • End-to-end trade mission planning, organisation, and on-the-ground management across Asian markets

  • Pre-mission market intelligence briefings and post-mission follow-up reporting
  • Sector-specific market research to support trade promotion campaigns and export programmes
  • Long-term trade representation and business development services in Asian markets
