UK subsea firms have begun a trade mission to Mexico.
This week’s visit, taking in Mexico City, Villahermosa and Ciudad Del Carmen, was organised by the Department for International Trade in association with Subsea UK, the Energy Industries Council, Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce and Scottish Development International.
It is connecting more than 15 UK companies with Mexico’s most influential energy players.
Each firm will showcase their products and services to operators, potential customers and partners, while also networking with government and industry officials.
Participants will gain market insights as they look to exploit export opportunities and expand into one of the fastest-growing oil and gas provinces in the world.
Subsea UK aims to strengthen trade partnerships and send Britain’s subsea expertise around the world as part of a UK Government strategy aimed at doubling exports by 2020.
Neil Gordon, the trade body’s chief executive, said: “The Mexican energy sector has undergone some big changes, opening up new opportunities for UK companies to play a major role in helping to maximise the country’s oil output.
“It’s crucial that UK companies take a strategic approach to market entry, making the right connections and partnerships to ensure they are in the running to be part of such a major development.
“This mission will provide delegates an opportunity to gauge business potential in the country, build a local network of contacts and visit the most important energy hubs.”
