The UK is a leading global economy and the business centre of Europe. It is at the forefront of global R&D, with a highly skilled workforce and a robust economy. After the US, the UK attracts more inward investment than any other nation in the world.

UK Trade & Investment is the lead government organisation created to support overseas businesses seeking to set up or expand in the UK. It works in close partnership with the English regional development agencies and the national development agencies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

UK Trade & Investment helps investors to make sound decisions, based on commercial expertise and unrivalled local access and knowledge. It offers: introductions to sector networks, including industry leaders, universities, other centres of excellence and collaborative partnerships; bespoke information on key commercial considerations, including company formation, financial incentives, labour, real estate, transport, utilities and regulatory issues; thorough regional analysis and informed advice to help in choosing the right location; and a pipeline into central government to help safeguard investors’ business interests.
