Interested in exporting but not sure where to start? Or have you some international trade experience but would appreciate some external help? The award winning and free P2E Programme is for Scottish companies who are considering exporting for the first time or for those wishing to build on early exporting experience.

As a result of participating in this Scotland-wide programme, you will have both an outline Strategy for your business and a tailored & practical Export Plan.

The completion of the outline Strategy will better prepare your business to enter export markets and significantly increase your chances of success. Your tailored Export Plan provides the detailed approach required to enter export markets successfully.

The programme is delivered over a maximum 10-week period, using a blended learning approach of online e-learning, workshops & 1-2-1 sessions with international trade experts, Strategem.

Programme Overview: The programme has two key phases:

Phase 1: Helps you create a straight-forward outline strategy, ensuring you have the fundamentals in place for exporting success. This consists of two e-learning modules, two half day workshops and two 1-2-1 advice sessions. The workshops cover the following key areas:
