The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. (WEDC) is inviting companies to participate in upcoming global trade ventures to Mexico and Canada.
The global trade venture to Mexico will take place Feb. 21–26, 2016, visiting Mexico City and Guadalajara, Mexico’s two largest cities. The global trade venture to Canada will take place March 13–18, 2016, visiting Toronto, Ontario — Canada’s largest city and provincial economy — and Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Both global trade ventures are offered at a subsidized rate for an attendee from each participating company — $1,300 per person for Mexico and $1,500 per person for Canada. This rate applies to Wisconsin exporters of a good or service. State agencies, industry associations, and service providers that are not direct exporters may participate but must pay the full, unsubsidized venture cost of $7,300 (Mexico) or $7,000 (Canada). The venture fee includes a market assessment and customized meeting schedule, hotel accommodations, some group meals, and in-country transportation; participants are responsible for cost of their international airfare and most meals.
More information about the Mexican and Canadian markets, as well as the specific cities visited, is available at InWisconsin.com/export/goglobal. This page also contains registration links for both trade ventures.
