This includes access to the BPI’s training and education, international business and conference opportunities and trade mission webinars in support of exports and business growth. In addition, members will receive access to BPI events and partner events at discounted prices, possible legal support and copyright protection, and more.
The deadline for applications is 6pm U.K. time on 12/10. The successful companies will be announced on 12/16 and will receive their free 12-month membership beginning 1/1.
