Does your business sell world-class services, but isn't yet selling them to the world?

Here's why UK businesses, especially , should look to start or increase their digital exports.

• The UK’s strong foundations and history (culture, language, and education) give it a truly global presence.

• We lead the way in digital trade. Over half of our exports are now digital – that’s double the OECD and EU averages.

• Digital export growth is three times faster than other exports, so it pays to go global.

• Services are our secret weapon, with the sector accounting for a huge slice of UK exports, jobs, and added value.

• Adopting digital processes slashes paperwork, speeds up transactions, and simplifies regulatory hurdles.

• Strong digital trade agreements can double their impact for SMEs, enabling you to scale quickly and affordably.

• Data flows and harmonised standards are critical. Getting them right opens doors to further export opportunities without compromising data protection.

• The UK government has a great programme to get more companies export, providing skills, advice, contacts, and networks. And it's free!
