The International Forum (IF) offers members of British Water who are active or interested in international trade, the opportunity to network, exchange knowledge and advice and learn of the latest developments and projects in overseas markets. Members are advised of UK Trade & Investment planned activities and are able to influence policy and drive British Water international initiatives. Information Please go to our Events and Exhibition link to find out about business visits, exhibitions, seminars and conferences for members and non-members. Certain events are restricted to members only.
Meetings The Forum meets three times a year as does the Specialist Suppliers Group (SSG) which is a working group aimed at providing specific market and project advice to specialist suppliers, manufacturers, service providers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Round-table meetings are also organised with visiting delegations who wish to work with the UK supply chain.	Events The programme of International trade support includes outward visits, exhibitions, inward visits and regional events.
British Water is delighted that it has been selected as the successful bidder to manage and deliver UK Trade & Investment’s international programme, for the water sector, up to June 2012.
Our international activities enable companies to meet potential business partners such as distributors, contractors, water companies and other key contacts eg representatives from the World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), EU and overseas government officials. Round-table meetings provide an opportunity for members to meet delegations from a variety of markets wishing to be advised of UK developments and latest technologies. Other events are aimed at providing members with details of forthcoming projects and access to decision makers.
