PLACES are still available at two Poole seminars aimed at highlighting global opportunities for Dorset businesses.

UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and HSBC have joined forces to host a series of globalisation seminars focusing on the world's high growth markets.

The events will aim to give businesses the chance to learn more about the challenge, threats and opportunities in the world's rapidly growing markets, including China, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and India.

A breakfast event will take place in Poole on October 17 which will address the management of risk encountered in these high growth markets and examine intellectual property protection.

There will also be discussions in Poole on October 25 about such topics as legal aspects, identifying partners and risk management.

Both events are free of charge. For a registration form contact Nicola.mason@uktisouthwest.org and for further information contact Shaun Smith, UKTI marketing manager, on 01275 370828.
