International giants including Siemens, Ford Europe, Wal-Mart and Aerospace Components will be represented at the event, which will take place on March 17 at the Great Yorkshire Show Ground in Harrogate.

The event will provide an opportunity for more than 500 regional businesses with export potential to meet buyers actively looking for their products or services.

International buyers signed up include ones from Mexico, Thailand, Germany, the USA, Brazil, India and South Korea in sectors including food and drink, engineering, digital and media, electronics, healthcare and construction.

Theresa Lindsay, assistant director at Yorkshire Forward, said: “The international companies lined up for the event have a wide range of purchasing requirements, which means the opportunities for regional businesses are vast.”
