International Trade

"What a fantastic experience sponsoring the International Trade & Opportunities event hosted by the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce. Huge credit to Ilona Karpanos for curating such a high-quality event - it was expertly organised from start to finish. The brilliant line-up of keynote speakers from key embassies gave us valuable insights into global markets, shifting trade dynamics, and new areas for collaboration and investment. Events like this are so important for businesses in our region looking to grow sustainably and expand internationally. They provide the perfect platform for connections, learning, and visibility. As headline sponsor, we couldn’t be happier. We’ve already seen some results - gaining new business from one of the delegates we met there! That’s networking, connection and exposure truly working at their best."

"I was lucky to attend a panel hosted by Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Dubai Airport Freezone. This was informative and thought-provoking. The presentation and panel discussions were lively, first-class and the wide range of impressive, yet diverse industry contributors were a testament to the academic and commercial insights that the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce help to promote. Thank you and I look forward to attending the next panel!"

"I found the event extremely useful and the contacts that made at the event I'm sure will prove invaluable for branching out into some regions which have been virtually untapped up until now."

First Light Lamps about the Trade and Investment Opportunities event

"We're very proud to acknowledge the exceptional support and expertise provided by the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce during our recent international exploration trip into Ghana. As a UK-based business navigating a new and complex market, the Chamber’s guidance proved invaluable at every stage of the journey. From the outset, the Chamber delivered in-depth market research, regulatory insights, and commercial intelligence tailored to the Ghanaian landscape. Ilona identified key partners, arranged strategic meetings, and helped us understand the local business culture - giving us a competitive edge. A defining moment in our journey was the Chamber’s presence during our first visit to Ghana. Their on-the-ground support ensured we made high-value connections with government bodies, industry stakeholders, and potential buyers. Their involvement brought credibility to our presence and played a vital role in successful negotiations. The Chamber’s hands-on assistance—from navigating legal frameworks to advising on market-entry strategy—has enabled us to confidently explore long-term operations in Ghana and broader West Africa. We commend the Chamber’s proactive, knowledgeable, and committed approach to supporting international business growth and wholeheartedly recommend them to any UK business seeking overseas success."
