Over 20,000 participants across global government and corporate leaders, senior investors and tech rising stars.
Applications are open to join Global Victoria's trade mission to London Tech Week (LTW) – the UK’s Tech flagship event, taking place across London. The trade mission will be delivered in partnership with Global Victoria's Trade and Investment (VGTI) office in London, the UK Government and Creative Victoria.
What types of businesses should apply?
Victorian companies with software and services capabilities across all technology sub-sectors, including edtech, digital health and medtech, fintech, cybersecurity and creative tech, are invited to apply.
Companies applying need to have been operating for at least three years and employ at least eight FTEs.
Companies will also need to show 20% year-on-year growth in either employment or turnover and have clear goals for doing business in the UK.
Why you should apply
Global Victoria has led successful trade missions to LTW in the last seven consecutive years. The business outcomes from companies that participated in previous LTW activities have been considerable.
The mission will enable delegates to build market insights, explore market opportunities, expand their networks and identify potential partners and clients.
Why the United Kingdom?
The United Kingdom (UK) has been identified as a high target market for ICT/Tech. The annual Victorian ICT survey demonstrates that the UK is the second largest export destination for ICT/Tech behind the United States.
The strength in interest for the UK market by Victorian ICT/Tech business is likely to grow as a result of the recently announced Australia-United Kingdom (UK) Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
LTW is Europe’s largest festival of live events taking place across London, with over 20,000 participants.
What's included?
The LTW 2024 trade mission includes a program of introductions and tailored events to maximise Victorian business opportunities, such as tailored business-to-business meetings, a site visit, and business networking events.
