Missions are a highly successful way to gain first-hand experience of leading international businesses and research. A small group of British business people and a leading academic spend a few days to two weeks overseas visiting industry and relevant centres of expertise. The sponsor promotes the findings and DTI pays travel and some related organisational costs. Organisations across the UK benefit from the mission through the mission team's report, seminar presentation and dissemination of the findings. Executive summaries of mission reports are available on this website as soon as they become available.
Reports are also available from the sponsoring bodies.
