About this event
Experience UK welcomes British companies to discover the wealth of opportunities in Russia’s arts, culture and wider entertainment sector, as we commence with our inaugural country-specific webinar as part of the Focus on Eastern Europe series.
Hosted by Emily Smith, who authored the Eastern Europe report, the session will provide a market overview for UK museum and attraction suppliers keen to expand their footprint to Russia. Joining Emily will be Trevor Lewis, Counsellor, Director of Trade & Investment Russia, British Embassy Moscow and Ludmila Stepnova from the Department for International Trade (DIT).

The first Focus on Russia webinar will take place November 11, 2021 at 14:00hrs. Following the session, Emily will host two additional webinars, which delve into Russia’s arts & culture and wider entertainment sector. Dates will be revealed in due course.
