Trade Missions
Trade missions take many forms - from small tours aimed at introducing companies to government and business counterparts, to detailed and highly product-oriented demonstration trips.
Many exporters rely on trade missions as a way to meet potential representatives or distributors who will help them expand into new markets.
Following is a list of scheduled trade missions.
