Wired Sussex, a Brighton-based new media agency, will lead a trade delegation of digital media companies to San Francisco and Seattle in the autumn.

The mission has been designed to help businesses establish strategic partnerships and win new business in the key North American market.

Wired Sussex said the United States was keen to continue forging business links with the UK and, with an economic recovery underway, it was a good time to turn enthusiasm and creativity into investment and revenue.

It said wireless commerce and content, security applications, gaming environments and e-learning were among the products ripe for export.

There are 12 places on the delegation and applicants will be eligible for a £550 subsidy from Trade Partners UK. The closing date for applications is July 1.
