Designed to prepare entrepreneurs and business leaders to lead in an uncertain world of continuous disruption.

This programme will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of the global marketplace. This global perspective is increasingly valuable as businesses expand their operations across borders.
GREAT’s story began in the run-up to the London Olympics, Paralympics, and Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee when the eyes of the world were on the UK. These events provided an enormous opportunity to showcase the UK on the world stage, calling for a singular, compelling voice for all the nations.
Since then, GREAT has generated £7 billion in returns to the UK economy and evolved to include a broad range of private sector partners (such as The Premier League, British Airways, the British Fashion Council, HSBC, and the BBC), a network of international embassies and consulates, and campaign partners within multiple government departments.
In the last year alone, through this network, GREAT delivered over £900 million in foreign direct investment, £548 million in additional expenditure from international students, £210 million in additional expenditure from international tourism, and over £90 million in export wins for UK companies.
