Advances in technology have made global sales, technology development, and manufacturing accessible to startup companies like never before. International sales are fueling a large percentage of growth in corporate profits and outsourced manufacturing and R&D are helping to contain costs. Facing ever increasing competition here at home, startups can ill-afford to ignore these global opportunities.
Despite great potential benefits, "going global" is filled with cultural, economic, and legal pitfalls and requires careful study of a market and your own business plan.
Come join us on June 9th, where our President, Lucia Jennings will be part of a panel of experts that will provide practical insight, pitfalls to avoid, and the answers to your questions about doing business in their respective markets.
