Tradeshow Access Programme

The government offers grant assistance to help UK companies participate in overseas exhibitions through the Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP)
Exhibitions are an essential part of most companies' export strategy but they can be quite costly. BioPartner works closely with government to help ease some of the financial and administrative pressures and enable more SMEs to participate. As a UK Government accredited trade organisation (ATO) we administer grant application for UK SMEs wishing to defray some of the cost of promoting themselves overseas at certain designated tradeshows e.g. to purchase stand space, distribute marketing materials, or take up speaker slots.

If you decide that you want to attend an exhibition with our help, you can access up to £1400 to assist with your exhibition costs if you are part of a BioPartner delegation. Those currently supported BioPartner, i.e. "key" exhibitions are included on our Opportunities and Missions page, with a link to further information on joining the next UK Delegation, including an application form for TAP funding.

Grant support is subject to UKTI terms and conditions. Please read these carefully to assess your eligibility for support. For international tradeshows not supported by BioPartner you may apply for a £1,000 SOLO grant through your UKTI Regional International Trade Advisor

For further details about the process of applying for TAP funding, including timelines, please see the UK Trade & Investment Market Entry webpage. Remember that in order to qualify for TAP funding for a key exhibition, you must join a BioPartner delegation
