Global Trade Venture: Paris, France and London & Birmingham, United Kingdom

France and the United Kingdom are the second- and third-largest economies in Europe, after Germany.

Both markets are sophisticated and diversified, with a mix of companies that matches several of Wisconsin’s sectors of strength—and thus, these are markets where Wisconsin companies can learn more about their competitors’ business practices as well as benefit from the strength of the industry by selling to customers with similar interests.

In June 2019, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) will be leading a global trade venture to France and the UK, with segments in Paris, London and Birmingham. Wisconsin exporters seeking to enter these markets, or grow their exports in these markets, are encouraged to attend this global trade venture. Given the strengths of Wisconsin and the target countries, companies that make innovative production equipment and components, safety and security products, renewable energy or energy-efficient products, medical and scientific devices, or aviation components are especially encouraged to consider attending.
