Message from Ambassador Susman
"The United Kingdom is one of the world’s most attractive destinations for U.S. exporters. It is a sophisticated market with advanced infrastructure, and our shared language and commercial practices make doing business straightforward. The UK’s location also serves as the ideal platform for expansion into the rest of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Many U.S. firms already active here are engaged in the high-growth, R&D-based industries of the future that are the focus of President Obama’s National Export Initiative. But there are opportunities in every sector and Embassy London stands ready to support all American commercial interests with a comprehensive range of advice, assistance and advocacy." — Louis Susman, U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
More on the National Export Initiative
President Obama announced the National Export Initiative (NEI) two years ago, with the goal of doubling exports by 2014. U.S. embassies are committed to supporting U.S. companies to start exporting or grow their exports to the United Kingdom. In this section, you will find a quick description of the United Kingdom as an export market and some suggestions for getting started.
