This question was answered on 20th December 2022
The Department for International Trade (DIT) has had 184 unsuccessful applications for UK Tradeshow Programme support.
The applications were unsuccessful due to the following reasons:
- 135 – The applicant’s business failed to meet the programme’s base criteria for support;
- 42 – The applicant failed to provide accurate business detail, preventing DIT from conducting governance and counter-fraud due diligence;
- 7 – Viewed by the Application Assessment Panel as unsuitable, on a VfM basis, for support at their show of choice.
