CBI, BAB partner to enhance UK-US trade and investment

Through this partnership, the CBI and BAB will promote bilateral trade and investment while working with the UK and US governments to support growth.

This partnership will provide CBI and BAB members with deeper insights into transatlantic political, economic and trade developments, while strengthening collaboration on priority UK–US issues. It will also create enhanced events and networking opportunities. With the Economic Prosperity Deal in place, both organisations will support firms in navigating the transatlantic business environment and identifying new growth opportunities, CBI said in a press release.

"The Trump administration has put trade policy at the heart of its agenda, which presents both opportunities and risks for transatlantic businesses. By aligning our efforts with the CBI, alongside other partners, we can more effectively support companies to succeed both ways across the Atlantic, and collectively champion policies that reduce barriers to trade and investment,” Duncan Edwards, CEO of BritishAmerican Business, said.

"Collaborating with BritishAmerican Business enhances our ability to advocate for UK businesses abroad. We will work together to ensure the voices of our members are heard from Westminster to Washington DC, promoting a business environment that encourages investment and growth across the Atlantic,” Rain Newton-Smith, CBI chief executive, said.
