Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP)

Why not show off what you've got?

Tradeshows offer a great way to meet new customers, launch new Dandilion seeds
products and assess the competition.  UKTI can help you make the most of exhibiting, and provide financial support along the way.

How does it work?

The TAP programme is all about getting a taste of your chosen market, in a way that best suits your business.  Companies looking to exhibit at international shows can do so as part of a UK group - making them eligible for significant financial assistance.  You could also get support from an Accredited Trade Organisation (ATO).

As an eligible business, you can receive financial assistance up to three times. for separate exhibitions, to help you build up knowledge and experience of overseas markets.

 

"Off the back of the trip to Arizona we had interest from several potential clients in California, who we went out to meet shortly afterwards.  As a result, we generated around £750,000 worth of business."
