Experts from UKTI's Defence & Security Organisation (DSO)
will be advising companies in these sectors on how they can reach
international markets.
Dates and venues of the free events, which all run from 9.30am
to 12.30pm, follow below:

· Wednesday, November 10 - Birmingham Chamber of Commerce
and Industry; and
· Thursday, November 11 - Coventry & Warwickshire
Chamber of Commerce.
Doug Mahoney, UKTI's International Trade Director for the West
Midlands, said: "This region has many defence and security
companies looking to market their products and services to overseas
customers.
"The Government's Strategic Defence Review is driving the need
to consider new locations and opportunities for international
sales.
"This event is designed to support this activity and is coming
to three locations in the West Midlands so that the DSO experts can
meet and advise as many firms as possible, supported by our team of
local international trade advisers.
"Any West Midlands companies that are looking to develop new
target markets in the defence and security sectors are welcome to
join."
