Through its global network, based in British Embassies, DBT plays a key role in delivering the UK’s trade and investment ambitions. Working at the intersection of business, policy and diplomacy, DBT teams collaborate with UK and international stakeholders to generate commercial opportunities, improve market access and build long-term partnerships.
The Latin America and Caribbean (LATAC) network, led by His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner, manages the UK’s trade and investment relationship across the region, including Mexico.

Within the Life Sciences campaign, the intern will support a range of activities related to healthcare, research, and innovation, including engagement with government counterparts, industry stakeholders, academic institutions, and UK companies. The role will involve supporting market understanding, stakeholder coordination, and information sharing relevant to the life sciences sector.
