A call went out in June for Highlands & Islands creative digital industries to join a mission to Sweden this fall, with a deadline of 1st July for companies to express their interest.

The event that we are targeting is an international business partner search in the Swedish knowledge hub of Uppsala, where some of the most cutting edge digital media businesses of 5 European states will get together to

a) do some deals, and/or
b) form collaborative partnerships to collar deals elsewere.

It is expected 10-12 companies from the Highlands & Islands will be selected to go on this trade mission, and the selection criteria is the following:

1) Companies with skills and products that we can match to the 40-50 companies representing Ireland, England, Austria and Sweden.
2) Companies with services and products that are 'export ready'
3) Companies with a realistic chance of contributing towards tangible commercial ouputs over the course of the event
