Advances in technology and efficient global transport are helping companies to overcome barriers to trade. Making use of these advances and Scotland’s proximity to mainland Europe and international trade routes, Scottish companies have long proved successful in exporting.
We work with ambitious Scottish companies to assist in initial trade efforts or to help established exporting companies branch into new markets. The range of services on offer support Scotland’s international trade in its many forms.
Many of these services are offered through Smart Exporter, a new international trade skills programme with funding from European Social Fund.
