UKTI looking for Companies to Introduce to London’s Tech City

by admin on June 11, 2012

UKTI Canada is excited to announce the launch of their inaugural Global Adventure competition, a unique opportunity for Canada’s most dynamic and innovative technology companies to win an all-expenses-paid trip to London for 3 days. Their programme will include an insider’s guide to Tech City, London’s answer to Silicon Valley, networking with world-class companies & investors, and introductions to fast-growing incubators.

If you’re ready to go global, send your entry to Canada.UKTI@fco.gov.uk or tweet them at @UKTI_Canada using the hash tag #UKglobaladventure, indicating why your company is ready to internationalize.

The UK is leading the way in creating an environment that is increasingly attractive to entrepreneurs, including a one-of-a-kind fast-track entrepreneurs visa, a main corporate tax rate of just 24% (& going down to 22% in April 2014) & lower rates for SMEs. The UK is one of the most flexible labour markets in Europe & boasts access to over 500 million consumers as part of the E.U.

If global expansion from a UK base is of interest to you, UKTI Montreal would be happy to help with free advice on the UK market, tax, property & government incentives. Contact Caroline.Henderson@fco.gov.uk
