International Trade Business Hub


The UK’s innovation agency is holding its flagship event at the National Exhibition Centre, during November. Innovate UK works with people,


companies and partner organisations to find and drive the science and technology innovations that will grow the UK economy. The organisation, which is sponsored by


the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, in turn part funds Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) together with the European Commission. In this way, the EEN is seen as part of the


Innovate UK ‘family’ and plays an important role for the organisation through its access and reach across more than 600 offices in some 56 countries. The NEC event takes place between 8–9


November and is being promoted as a ‘place where ideas collide’. It will attract global creators, thinkers, investors and entrepreneurs.
