From Local to Global - Discussion on how to develop international partnerships

Tuesday 20th May, 6:30 – 8:30pm

This event will allow you to discuss your burning questions with experts and entrepreneurs on how to develop international partnerships, market and sell overseas and set up manufacturing relationships in emerging markets.

Are you mapping your route for international expansion? Then come along to hear from entrepreneurs and experts who have experience in turning a local brand into an international success.

The business landscape is becoming more international - your suppliers may be international, your source of labour or even your financial support. However, shifting the focus from your domestic market to foreign ones will be a challenging and time consuming process.

If your business has been growing steadily at home and you want to take it to the next level of expansion or new markets overseas seem to have great potential, you may be thinking about expanding overseas. But what are the complexities you are likely to face? Where should you start? How should you go about finding the right partner abroad?

We have put together a great range of speakers and experts who will discuss with you the way to go about looking into new markets and developing international partnerships:

Our speakers include:

• Rob Denman, CEO and Editor in Chief of Pathfinder Business Magazine, the leading magazine that works to inspire and assist business and investors to new markets.

  Previously a journalist and with extensive travel experience, Rob eventually found himself in the UAE where he spent 5 years working with business from large multi-nationals such as ABB, Weatherford, Shell down to small SMEs to help them establish their interests in the Gulf markets.On his return to the UK, Rob continued to research why business was struggling to grasp the opportunities across all the emerging markets and how it can evaluate the benefits and risks and find the best partners.The result was Pathfinder Business - a glossy publication to help in this process and to help business leaders overcome the barriers in their own minds to make those crucial first steps from Shanghai to Sao Paulo and Beijing to Beirut.

• Greig Holbrook, Director of Oban Multilingual, a world leader in multilingual SEO with offices in 26 countries worldwide.

Having launched Brave New Enterprises in November 2007 – supported by Dragon Den’s James Caan and "Secret Millionaire" Ben Way - Lucian Tarnowski is launching Brave New Talent, a graduate recruitment social network (a halfway house between Monster and Facebook), in India and the UK.

  Lucian was the first undergraduate entrepreneur to receive EU financial backing and Edinburgh University support.

He is on the board of the Next Generation India network at the UK IBC and is a Make Your Mark Connector.

The event will take place at One Alfred Place, a new kind of club that combines the best of a private members’ club with your own London office.
