Exports
UKTI combines the resources of BIS (the Department for Business Innovation and Skills) and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's network of Trade Development Officers based in Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates-General throughout the world to help you achieve your international business potential.
Are you an East of England company seeking to export?
UKTI's support for prospective exporters covers the oil, gas and renewable energy sectors. The business environment for international trade is very positive. In traditional markets in the Middle East, demand for energy expertise outstrips supply, thanks to massive growth in the industry; and opportunities are not limited to the oil and gas sector. MASDAR, the world's first carbon free city already under construction outside Abu Dhabi presents opportunities for many aspects of renewable energy and low carbon technology.
Worldwide there are many opportunities in oil and gas, nuclear, wind and tidal, biomass, solar and fuel cell technology; not only for finished products but for components, project management and other services; and UKTI's specialists can help you identify those that are appropriate for your business development.
The East of England currently produces around 8% of its energy from renewable sources, ahead of all other English regions, proving that the region has a wealth of experience to export in this area.
