EXPORT week in Yorkshire has been hailed a success as more than 300 businesses attended events across the region.
A total of six regional events were organised by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and partners as part of Export Week.
At the flagship ExploreExport event alone, some 850 one-to-one meetings were held with trade advisers from 60 countries across the globe.
Mark Robson, UKTI regional director said: "It was encouraging to see so many people getting involved during the week and to hear all manner of local success stories at the various events. I hope we have inspired more local businesses, both large and small, to consider taking their business to the world.
"Exporting is crucial to the growth of our regional economy. The British brand is incredibly strong at the moment, as is Yorkshire heritage in its own right, bringing with it a reputation for credibility and reliability. As such there has never been a more opportune time to take advantage of these commercial prospects."
