Trade mission to F4E
 
In March, the British Consulate in Barcelona, in conjunction with UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and UKAEA, organised a trade mission to meet the Director, Dr. Didier Gambier, and other senior staff of F4E, Europe's ITER procurement office. The main aims were to understand how F4E is planning to procure Europe’s in-kind contributions to ITER and to give a flavour of the expertise that UK companies can offer. Both aims were fully met.
