The West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce is leading its largest delegation to date, heading to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain from November 9 to 14.
The mission follows direct member feedback, identifying the two countries as priority markets for expanding global trade.
James Mason, chief executive of the West & North Yorkshire Chamber, said: “At a time when the cost of doing business is so high, it is more important than ever to explore new avenues for doing business.
“We asked our members where they would like to see a trade mission arranged for and Saudi Arabia and Bahrain were a clear standout.”
The visit will include stops in Jeddah, Riyad and Bahrain, involving businesses from sectors including technology, education, professional services and manufacturing.
Leeds Bradford Airport is supporting the mission as headline sponsor.
Vincent Hodder, CEO of Leeds Bradford Airport, said: “We’re right in the middle of an exciting transformational journey here at LBA, so we welcomed the opportunity to be involved in this unique mission with the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce.”
Previous missions have taken Yorkshire businesses to the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
