The State of California understands the importance of Global Trade to the Economy and leads the nation in encouraging the development of exports and assisting companies which have not already entered the global market to do so. As part of their ongoing effort to benefit from what history and geography have endowed upon the State, the Office of Strategic Technology has agreed to join an open discussion between decision makers from mid-size companies and larger corporations already benefiting from Global Trade in the hope of fostering alliances between them.

This discussion will develop the concept of Industry Alliances formed to develop International Trade. The concept of an organization using the product of a specialized firm to add to or complete the line they are presenting abroad is not a new concept, however it is one of the most important tools in an exporters arsenal and everyone benefits from its use.

This discussion will also cover all the questions organizations entering the global economy for the first time encounter, and those questions exporting firms moving from the exploratory to the conciliation of foreign markets, tend to face more often than not. An international Taxation expert and an International lawyer will cover for us the all important factors of making sure you actually make a profit and keep the operation legal.
