International growth can feel like a bigger leap for smaller businesses. ✈️

With tighter budgets and fewer internal resources, it's understandable that SMEs may approach overseas expansion with caution. Yet their ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions, alongside the closer relationships they can build with customers, can create valuable opportunities.

Our latest insights consider how SMEs can make the most of these strengths, supported by careful financial planning and access to local knowledge, to build a competitive position beyond their home market.

What a week in Nashville! 🌎

Our HLB Global Summit 2026 brought senior leaders from around the world together for four days of inspiring discussions, shared experiences and new connections, all centred around this year's theme 'The Power of Possibilities'.

From embracing technological change and exploring opportunities for growth to understanding how our people's experiences influence the way we serve clients, the Summit gave us plenty of reasons to challenge our thinking and learn from one another.

We even found time for some country music, hat making, and line dancing!

A huge thank you to our speakers, organisers and everyone who contributed to such a memorable few days. We're looking forward to building on the ideas shared and relationships strengthened in Nashville as we shape what's next for HLB.

With APAC accounting for around three-fifths of global growth, Coco explores how European businesses can capitalise on the opportunities presented by these territories, including choosing the right market, assessing initial investment requirements, navigating different regulatory and tax systems, and building strong local partnerships.

Coco explains why careful planning, local expertise and a tailored market-entry strategy are essential to successful expansion across the Asia-Pacific.

That’s one of the messages from HLB Chief Innovation Officer Abu Bakkar in his latest interview with UKTN, reflecting on how AI adoption is developing across professional services.

From professional services to professional sport, AI is changing how organisations work and make decisions 🤖

Our recent Tech & Innovation Symposium in Barcelona gave HLB colleagues the opportunity to learn from those already putting AI into practice; both within our profession and beyond.

Alongside the hands-on sessions, we heard from Bové Montero (HLB Spain) about their own AI journey and welcomed representatives from FC Barcelona to share how technology is supporting areas from performance analytics to fan engagement.

The conversations throughout the day reinforced the opportunities AI can create beyond efficiency, from enhancing quality and informing better decisions to giving people more time to focus on where their experience and judgement add the most value.
