Medilink UK, alongside the Department for International Trade (DIT), is hosting this event to connect UK companies to experts in the Cuban Healthcare and Bioscience markets.
This free event at the Williams Formula 1 centre will allow you to access opportunities in Cuba and the Latin American markets, meet Cuban companies and potential collaborators, and gain expert support and advice from DIT market based staff.
You will see opportunities for manufacturing and distribution into South American markets, and create direct contacts to facilitate this.
