Following the announcement of the UK-Singapore Free Trade Agreement and the recently announced UK bid to join the CPTPP , it is no surprise that the BritCham Trade Services team have been kept busy since returning after the festive break .
Multiple projects have been underway to support UK companies to build out their presence in Singapore and establish market entry , and technology has inadvertently become a theme of these projects . Early in the year , we began with outreach activity for our new member
London Dynamics , an augmented commerce solution changing the face of the retail experience . More recently , we hosted the
Tech 4 Good Trade Mission . This brought together nine companies from the South West of England who have created technology with a purpose . Soon we will move into the delivery phase of the Northern Powerhouse Tech Trade Mission , which will showcase 15 technology firms from the northern regions of the UK – keep an eye out for further information !
