<p>Businesses across Cumbria have access to the full range of DIT support. International

by our full UK and global network, with DIT teams overseas, sector specialists and
the Exporting is GREAT Digital Hub. UK Export Finance (UKEF), the UK’s export credit
agency, can also help businesses in Cumbria win, fulfil and get paid for their overseas
sales.</p><p> </p><p>We encourage and help businesses to start, increase or sustain
exporting activity, and this support includes 1-1 advice, trade missions, exhibitions,
workshops and other activities. Additionally, free support is available to them from
92 DIT Northern Powerhouse Export Champions.</p><p> </p><p>The trade needs of businesses
of all sizes in Cumbria will be further addressed through the Export Strategy. This
sets out how the government will support businesses to make the most of the opportunities
presented by markets around the world. Launched in August 2018, we consulted with
over 200 businesses to develop the Strategy, which will see DIT join up across government,
with local partners and with the private sector to break down barriers to exporting.
The strategy sets out how DIT will Encourage; Inform; Connect; and Finance UK businesses
with the potential to export.</p>
