To help RIBA members to export overseas and assess their international readiness, the RIBA partnered with the UK Department of International Trade (DIT) to deliver a free webinar on potential business opportunities on 11 November 2020 in five key international markets:
• United Arab Emirates
• Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
• Singapore and ASEAN
• China
• Australia and New Zealand
The seminar gave an overview of services available from DIT as well as market specific insight from DIT trade advisors in each country. We are delighted that Minister for Trade, Greg Hands MP shared a short video and that Alan Vallance, RIBA CEO joined to give the opening words. We also launched the latest Design Matters publication ‘World Class buildings by UK Architects’ by the RIBA Policy and Public affairs team with a case study from Martin Knight of Knight Architects on the Lower Hatea River Crossing Whangarei, New Zealand.
