What we do
DBT is the UK government department responsible for inward investment, export promotion, trade policy and export finance, and the lead organiser of the UK Pavilion and delegation at the BIO International Convention.
We secure UK and global prosperity by promoting and financing international trade and investment and championing free trade. For international partners, we are your front door to the UK. We work through our dedicated and talented teams in the UK and in overseas posts, based at embassies and consulates in more than 100 international markets.

We promote trade and help to open up markets for exporters and to increase UK exports. We are developing the new trade policy framework for the UK as we leave the EU.
Through UK Export Finance, we offer products to exporters and overseas buyers to ensure that no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance.
We are your expert guides on your journey to invest in the UK. We offer free and confidential advice and services to inward investors. We give new investors the confidence to invest in the UK, and we help existing inward investors to expand and grow in the UK and to use the UK as your gateway to the world.
In Life Sciences, we work across the full diversity of businesses operating in the sector and across the full pathway from research through to healthcare delivery.
We collaborate with other parts of government and with our network of sector stakeholders to support the success of the UK life sciences industry, driving improved economic growth and health outcomes.
