We are delighted to be a key sponsor of the inaugural Northern Asian Power-Mission. We would like to invite you to join the Northern Asian Power-Mission India, which will take place between 1 – 5 March 2021.
The Asian community has, for decades, provided a powerful and varied contribution to the UK and, in particular, the north of England.
Off the back of the successful launch of the Northern Asian Powerlist in October 2020, we are excited to explore the international business opportunities and to build on the living bridge.
The virtual power mission will feature:

All our virtual masterclasses will provide an opportunity to:
