GTR UK London

GTR UK is a high-profile annual conference and trade exhibition that has firmly established itself as a key meeting point for professionals and decision-makers in the fields of international trade and export finance. Organized by the renowned specialist publisher Global Trade Review (GTR) – recognized since its founding in 2002 as a global leader in conferences on trade, export, commodities, and supply chain finance – the event brings together the industry’s key stakeholders in the heart of London.

Held at the Broadgate Business Centre, one of Europe’s most important financial hubs, GTR UK attracts a wide range of participants from across the trade ecosystem.

Each year, GTR UK opens its doors to experts from banking, corporates, FinTech, insurance, the export sector, risk management, and government. The event stands out for its sharp focus on strategic, political, and technological developments shaping the global trade landscape. In-depth discussions cover critical topics such as the future of UK economic policy in an international context, the impact of tariffs and geopolitical tensions, economic security, and the role of ESG factors in trade processes. A particular emphasis is placed on digitalization – from automated export procedures to the technological transformation of the trade finance landscape.

A defining feature of GTR UK is its strong practical orientation: Leading companies and financial institutions showcase real-world solutions, innovative financial instruments, digital platforms, and services that enhance the efficiency, security, and resilience of cross-border trade. For UK exporters – particularly in the manufacturing sector – the event serves as a powerful catalyst for innovation and growth. At the same time, discussions reflect the geopolitical realities facing the UK and reinforce London’s position as a global center for trade and finance.

GTR UK forms part of a global series of events, with other key locations including Singapore, Dubai, and New York – major hubs where global trade is most active. The London edition holds special significance, particularly in the post-Brexit era, where new trade relationships, economic strategies, and risk management solutions are more vital than ever.

Exhibitors and attendees represent a broad cross-section of industries – from financial services and export companies to insurers and technology providers specializing in ESG and digital solutions. The event is tailored for decision-makers with a strategic outlook and a need for actionable insights. Its mission is to foster the development of solutions that ensure a sustainable and stable future for global trade.

Highlights of the event include interactive expert panels, dynamic networking formats with industry leaders, and the presentation of pioneering projects. These are complemented by market analysis, case studies, and exclusive insights into future developments in international trade finance.

The venue – the Broadgate Business Centre – is centrally located in the City of London, just a short walk from Liverpool Street Station. This excellent accessibility, combined with the venue’s modern infrastructure, makes GTR UK not only a content-rich but also a logistically outstanding platform for international trade in the UK.

The GTR UK will take place on Wednesday, 10. June 2026 in London.
