In today\u2019s global economy, growth is no longer confined by geography. Yorkshire\u2019s most ambitious businesses aren\u2019t competing locally \u2013 they\u2019re attracting global capital, entering international markets, and positioning themselves on a bigger stage. Understanding how to navigate cross-border deals and investment isn\u2019t an option anymore \u2013 it\u2019s a necessity.<\/p>\n

TheBusinessDesk.com is bringing together leading voices including international dealmakers alongside Yorkshire-based businesses to explore the current climate for global deals and investment in the region. \"\"<\/p>\n

The seminar will explore opportunities for UK companies to expand internationally and attract foreign investment, as well as challenges they face when buying, partnering with or being acquired by overseas firms.<\/p>\n

The panel will consider whether the UK remains an attractive destination for international investment in 2026, and whether perceptions are shifting due to economic, political, and regulatory uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Panellists will address common misconceptions held by overseas investors about UK businesses, from assumptions around growth potential, resilience, and global competitiveness \u2013 and discuss how founders can better position their businesses to appeal to international capital.<\/p>\n

A key focus will be the practical realities of cross-border deals. The discussion will explore where transactions commonly fall apart \u2013 due to regulatory complexity, valuation gaps, cultural differences, political risk \u2013 and separate genuinely material barriers from those that are largely perceived.<\/p>\n

Panel will share insights on how expectations are evolving, including a growing emphasis on profitability, sustainable growth, and operational resilience, as well as how valuations are being benchmarked against international peers.<\/p>\n

Founders will bring a first-hand perspective, sharing what they had to change in their businesses to expand beyond the UK. Discussions will include pursuing growth in foreign markets and whether UK entrepreneurs tend to undersell themselves compared to US or European counterparts.<\/p>\n

The seminar is essential for founders, executives, and investors seeking a clear understanding of the UK\u2019s international deal landscape, the realities of cross-border investment, and the strategies required to succeed on a global stage.<\/p>\n
