UK Trade & Investment, the government arm offering business opportunities, trade advice and support to help UK-based companies grow overseas, is to partner with the Guardian across its Activate Summits in New York and Singapore.
Under the partnership, the UKTI is inviting UK-based companies to apply for funding to attend the events (£500 for New York, £650 for Singapore), while the Guardian, who is partnering with the global consultancy MediaGuru in Singapore, is waiving the delegate fee for all companies who receive UKTI funding (typically $999 for New York and SGD $950 for Singapore).
Companies applying for Singapore funding can also receive a discounted rate at the iconic Marina Bay Sands hotel where the event is taking place, if booking by the 1 November. To access this rate please stipulate when returning your application form via email and a member of the team will be in contact.
To be eligible for funding companies must have less than 250 employees and an annual turnover not exceeding £45m.

Activate is the Guardian's global platform for leaders working with the internet to change the world, and attendees of both events can expect to learn from and do business with some of the biggest names in media and technology with the emphasis very much on networking and deal brokering.
Successful applicants will also be invited to attend the Activate Tech Talent days which will run in both Singapore and New York and where the focus will be on connecting startups with investors and like-minded entrepreneurs in the region.
