Pitching the options for trade after Brexit

We invite you to join the debate at our Dragons’ Den-style event. We have invited proponents of different solutions to pitch to an expert panel.

 

The UK is leaving the EU, but the Cabinet is still debating options for its future trade relationship with the EU. The Institute for Government put forward some possible options before Christmas and many other organisations have made proposals.

We invited proponents of different solutions to pitch to an expert panel at our Dragon's Den-style event.

  • Free Trade Agreement (a deep and comprehensive deal with the EU with an ambitious global trade policy): Stephen Booth, Director of Policy and Research for Open Europe.
  • The Brexit Autonomy model (a free trade agreement with extensive mutual recognition): Victoria Hewson, Member of the Special Trade Commission at the Legatum Institute.
  • Jersey Option (customs union and single market for goods): Sam Lowe, Research Fellow, Centre for European Reform, co-founder of the UK Trade Forum.
