27-30 January 2020

Get your teeth into the $60bn cruise ship building market in Europe. Come with SMI and the Department for International Trade (DIT) to Turku and Rauma in January 2020 and meet key design companies, shipyards and an operator. If you want to develop contacts and meet these contacts face to face a Mission is the ideal event for you. Organising high level access to these contacts independently is very difficult but under the auspices of the DIT and SMI, we have arranged a concentrated visit program for you. You will also learn a great deal from the accompanying UK companies and if we’re lucky we might even see the Northern Lights.

On 30 January there is the possibility of visiting the Helsinki Shipyard. If this is possible we will make it a morning visit to enable flights in the afternoon/evening of the 30th.
At all times we will be accompanied by the Department of International Trade (DIT) staff who will provide translation services as needed. The Mission fees have been structured to include:
- Transfers to and from Helsinki airport
- Group meals (Monday night, Tuesday lunch, Wednesday lunch & dinner)
- Local transport in Turku/Rauma for 2 days
- Shared cost of an evening reception for up to 40 guests.
The fees do not include airfares or hotel (B&B) costs. Hotels will be reserved for the group but delegates will settle their own bills.
We will need 8 delegates for this Mission to proceed. As this is DIT supported we will need authorisation from them before we confirm attendance so please wait for a confirmation email before booking any flights. 2 people per company is the maximum allowed as we want as many different companies to attend as possible.
Price:
- Member rate: £950 + 20% VAT (£1,140) per delegate
- Non-Member rate: £1,200 + 20% VAT (£1,440) per delegate
