The Go Global Awards recognize excellence in international trade and exporting, honoring organizations that have demonstrated outstanding global growth, innovation, and impact.
The Awards are hosted jointly by the International Trade Council and the International Centre for Trade Transparency – in partnership with national government trade and investment agencies.
The 2025 Awards gala and associated events will take place at One Great George Street, Westminster, London, the United Kingdom.
No – but as this is NOT a stand-alone program you MUST already have paid participation to the Trade Mission to the United Kingdom taking place at the same time. The overall program includes lead up PR activities, networking programs. lunch, cocktails, dinner events, B2B meetings and a grand formal dinner for 1 attendee. Additional attendees from the same organization are charged £500 each. Participants are responsible only for their own travel and accommodation costs. The only exclusions are where a third party has sponsored your participation (i.e. a business partner ~ not the ITC).
Any organization—private, public, or non-profit—of any size or industry with demonstrable success in business, FDI or international trade is eligible. You do not need to be a member of the International Trade Council to participate, and many of our associated chambers of commerce and industry associations submit applications on behalf of their constituents.
