The UK’s Department for Business & Trade (DBT) invites you to join this trade mission to explore export opportunities in Argentina and Uruguay. Both have sophisticated and import-reliant MedTech markets, with opportunities across a wide variety of subsectors. Local standards are aligned with CE/FDA markings and the UK offer has a strong reputation.
