We are very excited to announce that applications for the Digital Mission to Washington, DC taking place 11th - 15th July 2011 are now open.

This trip is ideal for companies interested in digital government and social innovation who are looking to expand into the US market either directly or through partners.

Alongside a hectic programme of events there will be a chance for companies to interact with the US Government and key players within the digital space.

We have been working hard with our friends at digital government consultancy FutureGov, community builder BrightLemon and digital media consultant Kathryn Corrick in order to bring you this mission that helps bridge the gap between government and digital.

The programme will include:

Masterclass sessions on setting up and doing business in the US
VIP networking reception and company showcase
Sessions covering contracting with the US Government
Industry briefings
Pitching events
Roundtable meeting
Networking events
