Solent International Business Alliance

Solent International Business Alliance has been established to strengthen trade links internationally.

The group aims to work together to strengthen networks and increase opportunities for collaborative and cross-border relationships.

Members will meet regularly to discuss how business in the south can work together to share knowledge of the global markets and business opportunities, while creating an effective platform to promote the south’s regional strengths in the international marketplace.

Norman Armstrong, Partner at Grant Thornton and member of the alliance explained  there were plenty of opportunities for businesses in the Solent to move onto the international platform – and already those companies geared towards global demands and exporting goods and services to international markets are enjoying success.

While currency deflation has tipped the balance in the UK's favour, competition for trade and investment in global markets is intense. That is why groups such as SIBA are vital in helping businesses work collaboratively to penetrate international markets.

The group's initial focus will be on China, with the support of the CBBC.
