The NAM and Make UK have re-signed their Memorandum of Understanding, which they signed in 2023 to promote close economic ties between the U.S. and U.K.

What’s in it: “The MOU calls for Make UK and the NAM to work together to provide opportunities for their members to strengthen manufacturing through a number of avenues, including exploring potential trade delegations, trade fairs and business networks; facilitating visits and economic delegations between representatives of the two organizations for promoting trade, investment and commercial exchanges among member companies and organizations; and working together on joint meetings, conferences, seminars, reports, letters and mutually agreed advocacy on trade and investment-related issues,” the NAM noted after the original signing.
