Global Britain Trade Expo is pleased to announce that the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade will join the 2026 edition as an official Event Partner, reinforcing a shared commitment to strengthening international trade and professional excellence across the UK and beyond.

This partnership brings together two organisations aligned in purpose, to support businesses operating in global markets and to champion compliant, sustainable and profitable trade.

The Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade empowers organisations and equips individuals with the expertise to trade compliantly, sustainably and profitably. Through its work in building professional capability and collaborating with businesses, policymakers and stakeholders, the Institute facilitates the acknowledged mutual benefits of free, legitimate and frictionless international trade.

As one of the most respected professional bodies in the international trade community, the Institute provides a comprehensive range of membership services, educational courses and advisory support. These services are designed to enhance knowledge, improve compliance standards and strengthen operational capability across organisations engaged in global commerce.

In an increasingly complex trading environment, where regulatory frameworks, customs procedures and sustainability expectations continue to evolve, the Institute plays a vital role in equipping professionals with the tools and expertise required to navigate international markets with confidence. Its work supports organisations of all sizes, helping them operate responsibly while maximising global opportunity.

A landmark achievement in the Institute’s history came in 2023, when it was awarded a Royal Charter, the highest accolade that can be granted to a professional body. The Royal Charter is formal recognition of the distinguished role the Chartered Institute and its members play in empowering global trade. This status reflects the Institute’s long-standing contribution to raising standards, advancing professional development and shaping best practice within the trade sector.

The partnership with Global Britain Trade Expo 2026 reflects a mutual recognition of the importance of expertise, standards and collaboration in enabling trade success. As the Expo continues to serve as a platform for exporters, investors, policymakers and trade professionals, the involvement of the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade further underscores the importance of professional capability within the wider trade ecosystem.

Global Britain Trade Expo 2026 looks forward to welcoming the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade as an official Event Partner and to highlighting the role of professional excellence in supporting compliant, sustainable and profitable international trade.
