An update from the UK Government to foreign corporate investors.
This webinar is hosted by Chatham House Rule and organised in collaboration with the Nordic Chambers of Commerce in the UK.
The UK, Europe and indeed the world are facing unprecedented times during the Covid-19 pandemic. Adding to that let us not forget the United Kingdom is in full speed in arranging a time post UK’s exit from the European Union, including arranging free trade agreements.
We are pleased to be joined by HM Government’s Minister for Investment Lord Grimstone of Boscoble Kt, who will give a briefing on this followed by a curated Q&A session with questions from the audience.
He will be joined by Michael Charlton, Managing Director & Chief Investment Officer and Christina Liaos, European Lead Foreign Direct Investment, both from the Department for International Trade.
