High Growth Markets Programme

India has been identified by UK Trade & Investment as a high growth market and as such has been included in its High Growth Markets Programme.

The programme encourages the internationalisation of UK companies by providing advice to selected firms with the potential to enter or expand in target high growth markets. It utilises the experience of High Growth Market Programme specialists who use their commercial expertise to provide assistance to companies.
