Born Global

This week KS presented at Born Global 2013, a competition for businesses in the West to explain why they have the potential to grow overseas.

Sporting a 'Dragons Den' style format, KS CEO Rory Vance attended the auditions in Bristol, going head to head with 5 local businesses, all from different backgrounds and industry sectors, including finance, fashion, music and technology. Presenting to a panel of business and marketing experts, each business had just 4 minutes to present a case for why they have the greatest potential for export success.

From multiple auditions across the region, 10 firms will be selected for the Grand Final on 09 December.

Last year's winner accompanied UK PM David Cameron on a trade visit to Japan, so the potential rewards are significant.

We'll keep you posted when the results from the regional heats are announced later this month...
