What a GREAT Show – There’s much more to come!

London 2012 will stand out as a shining example of British Excellence for a long time to come. It’s a Great show – our best medal performance since 1908; our Gold medal rankings; Great British cycling; superb dressage – the Great athletics show which has glued me to the TV each night for the last 2 weeks – Usain Bolt’s double – absolutely brilliant. It’s not over yet and if the opening ceremony is anything to go by the closing one will be stunning.

What next?

We are planning for a Great Autumn. In some ways we want to keep the Olympic flame burning. We want to build on 2012’s summer of opportunity and turn it into growth. I want to spend a little time outlining to you some of the things we are doing and more importantly what we are going to do. I would like to ask you to join me in promoting growth opportunity.

Poland – the time is now!

Just like Jamaica 1,2,3 we want to make it as easy as possible for UK companies to do business in Poland. We’ve got a great set of outreach materials to support British companies access Great opportunities over here:

  1. BizzOpps Poland – a current overview of business development opportunities for your company in the Polish market
  2. Communicate Poland – the place to find all you need to know about Poland’s Great opportunities
  3. Strategic Sector Slim Jims (coming soon) – what you need to know to talk to us about big opportunity access

That’s the first bit – if you are looking to this part of the world which I think you should be just download our opportunities and give us a call.

What’s next?

We’ve had another Great idea. We know that everyone is chasing Emerging market opportunity. What we’re doing to make it easy for you to do business in this part of the world is bunch our market opportunities together into one branded region Emerging Europe.

We’ll have a Great set of outreach materials for you at the end of the summer and a Great Autumn programme of engagement events and a Great brand new Emerging Europe Trade and Investment Compendium – in print and online.

Emerging Europe – Emerging Market Opportunity Close to Home – Watch this Space!
