Going Global Workshops

Global markets represent significant opportunities for companies. There are rewards, to be sure, but there are also risks. If you are contemplating a move into the global arena, you will greatly benefit from the information offered in the Going Global series of workshops. Designed by international trade professionals who have first-hand, in-market experience, FITT’s Going Global workshops provide you with an introduction to the key aspects of international business.

The Going Global workshops, updated in 2011, are 3-hour modules designed to help individuals and organizations:

• make crucial exporting and/or importing decisions,
• avoid common pitfalls, and
• increase their understanding of international trade and foreign markets.

You’ll learn to identify market opportunities, leverage your resources to secure financing, negotiate partnerships with foreign distributors, and much more.
