Time to reflect on this week's South Yorkshire International Trade Conference. Led by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce with the expertise of Sheffield International Trade Centre-SITC, this years conference saw us host over 135 delegates from across the UK and Europe, all with the common mission of expanding their international trade aspirations. Providing a space for collaboration and knowledge sharing, key discussion points included Brexit and CBAM, customs duties and import taxes, quicker access to export finance, and accelerating growth in international markets, all with an impending change of UK government. As a region, we all agreed it's vitally important that we support the ambitions of our world-renowned manufacturers and exporters, alongside the burgeoning sectors of Ed Tech, Med Tech, and Clean Tech. A joined-up approach from key regional stakeholders is pivotal to providing sustained economic growth through key initiatives such as the Investment Zone. To that end, it was fantastic to have The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire, Made In Sheffield, British Chambers of Commerce, South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Doncaster Chamber, and Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce all in attendance offering insight and thoughts. Thank you to all that attended, exhibited, sponsored, presented, and collaborated, making the day the success it was. Here's to 2025 and more importantly, all the work in between. #Internationaltrade #Export #Import

Last month we hosted the 6th CEOs & Global Leaders Forum (CGLF) as part of the most important sector dialogue in coffee. Companies and governments came together to discuss the progress of the International Coffee Organization Coffee Public-Private Task Force, especially on its objectives to close the living income gap in coffee regions to support farmers towards prosperity, and promoting enabling policies in exporting and importing countries, facilitating national public-private dialogue. The meetings we hosted that week provided the space for governments and companies to discuss how we could work better together to tackle the key challenges farmers and the sector at-large face.  The video below highlights some of the reflections from companies and representatives from the public sector (consuming and producing countries) on the opportunities ahead and the potential that real public – private partnerships can bring to create a better future for coffee regions.  https://lnkd.in/eG2RF5Pd

Why sustainable development in emerging markets is a priority ?

Indeed a great forum to share best practices among World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO, ABPI Associação Brasileira da Propriedade Intelectual, ACHIPI, AUDAPI, ACPI, IJA and GLIPA on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), set by the United Nations. Edward Kwakwa gave a great introduction on how Intellectual property acts as a catalyst for innovation, protecting the rights of inventors while also encouraging a competitive environment. A couple of remarks that I want to share after the panel discussions: • Intellectual property fosters economic growth and addresses critical challenges outlined in the SDGs, such as combatting hunger, healthcare accessibility, gender equality, and establishing partnerships and collaboration. • Intellectual Property Rights step in as advocates, creating an environment that supports innovation and sustainable practices by encouraging inventors and creators to come up with solutions that fit right into the SDGs. • Patents protect inventions and, by that, contribute to leading innovation in many different fields connected to the SDGs, like agriculture and healthcare. • Intellectual Property is a key player, paving the way for a greener and more innovative world. • Patents and IP rights encourage researchers and innovators to find better ways to grow crops, invent new farming tools, and practice sustainable farming. These new technologies and practices will help in producing more food which will result in better food distribution as well. The safeguarding of these innovations ensures that we can meet the growing demand for food while minimizing environmental impact, fostering a more sustainable and resilient food system. It was a privilege to be part of a panel with distinguished speakers and moderated by my colleague Maria Fernanda Hurtado. Thanks to Agustina Fernandez Giambruno, Cristian Barros, Luana Muniz de Barros, Fernanda Magalhães, and Martin Torres.
