TRADE ACCESS PROGRAMME (TAP) Funding

The BPA is the Department for International Trade's (DIT) Accredited Trade Organisation (ATO) for the UK’s nursery industry. Therefore all grant applications to exhibit at overseas trade shows (whether as part of the BPA’s UK Pavilion scheme or independently) should be submitted to us.

Please note: Whilst only Baby Products Association members can participate in UK Pavilions (as these are a membership benefit subsidised by the trade association) TAP grants are available to both members and non-members at DIT approved events.

If you would like to apply for a TAP grant, guidance and application forms will be available to download soon. The Baby Products Association will inform the industry once these are available.

Please note; When completing the TAP application form, The Baby Products Association is the Trade Challenge Partner and the sector is 'Business & Consumer'.
