Business Opportunities in the USA
A seminar, “Internazionalizzazione delle imprese: le opportunità del Mercato degli Stati Uniti” took place at the Palazzo Ducale in Martina Franca on 29th November, 2019. It demonstrated that in our globalised world it is essential for our local businesses to expand in to new markets. Whether by selling our products and services or making investments abroad or by attracting investors to our area, we need to build a new business model whereby public and private sectors work hand-in-hand to achieve growth and innovation.
The seminar generated a great deal of interest and was well attended by participants from local businesses across the region. The seminar brought together a network of organisations which can offer support to local businesses of all sizes to help them turn opportunity in to reality in the US market.
Familiarity with the U.S. economic, political, and regulatory environment is critical for business leaders to make informed decisions about their investments. Speakers provided information about services, tools, and connections that business investors need to succeed in the United States.
