Prepare for a market research trip or trade mission

A trade mission is an organised visit to a country or region by a group of companies, usually set up by a government department, trade federation or similar organisation.

Most missions are a busy and varied programme of meetings, site visits, and networking socials with various local organisations. These can range from local businesses, distributors, and professional services to government departments, regional trade bodies and local consular staff.
