WIN – Women’s International Network
Launched last week with a huge amount of interest from business and Government. The rolling programme has been designed to increase the participation of women-led businesses in international trade with virtual training, business mentoring, panel discussions and peer to peer networking opportunities. We’re offering a structured and supportive environment for women to grow their businesses and realise their international potential. I have attached a partner pack and the registration link can be found here: https://www.events.great.gov.uk/WIN-23-24/
*each cohort is limited to 50 places and recruitment will take place every 6 months.
