Welcome to BAB’s Trade & Investment Update for September 2019. Last month, we celebrated both the transatlantic agricultural community, at a special reception hosted by the US Embassy in London, as well as the investment made by Mayo Clinic in the UK, proud partner of BAB.

This month we’re featuring a number of interesting trade and investment opportunities in the transatlantic space, including info on the next the SelectUSA summit (2020 date now revealed) in Washington D.C., an export grant programme for SMEs by our friends at Heathrow, and a new service from the Department for International Trade where you can directly report barriers to international trade you are facing. In addition, we’ve highlight a number of upcoming events from our friends and colleagues across the UK & US to help you do business across the Atlantic.

In the news, we’re highlighting two exciting stories from the UK, with London overtaking New York to become the number 1 city for Fintech investments, and new data from the ONS showing UK exports of goods and services to countries outside of the EU increasing 4.8% in the last year (with exports to the USA increasing 9.6%!)
