Fiscal stimulus initiative

Description and how it can help

The Fiscal Stimulus Initiative (FSI) is a UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) initiative to help UK-based companies capitalise on opportunities arising from major overseas recovery-related spending programmes.

The programme's is aimed at raising awareness of designated global spending packages that offer significant opportunities for business.

By utilising a team of nine business specialists to help companies of all sizes identify these opportunities, UKTI continues to enhance its support.

The programme aims to:

• Identify supply chain opportunities from global fiscal stimulus packages by working closely with UKTI colleagues in British diplomatic posts overseas.
• Raise awareness amongst UK-based companies, providing professional input to business briefings, seminars, overseas missions and other events.
• Engage with multipliers to reach a wider community of UK-based companies.
• Develop and maintain networks of global suppliers and customer contacts, enabling UK companies to gain a global competitive advantage.
• Offer first-line business advice and signposting to UK clients who wish to capitalise on these opportunities.
