Grow Your Green Business!

Through our close partnership with TradeRoots and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, we are pleased to announce that we are participating with their newly awarded Department of Commerce Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) for 2011-2012.  This cooperator agreement is designed to support President Obama’s National Export Initiative (NEI) by helping small and medium sized companies grow their businesses through exports.  In particular, we are looking for green technology companies who would like to begin exporting, or expand their exports to Brazil.

Investing in the export potential of your company could bring dramatic gains—95% of all consumers live outside our borders. To sign up or for more information, contact Kathleen McInerney, project director, Export Green at [email protected]  or 202-463-5341.  

 
 

 

 
 

CHAMBER HOSTS DR. IRA KALISH FOR DISCUSSION OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. The Global Initiatives Council hosted Dr. Ira Kalish, director of global economics at Deloitte Research, who examined the global economic environment and offered his view on what to expect in 2011 and beyond. "The goal of the National Export Initiative, which is to double national exports in five years, can be achieved. But, it will be a result of strong market forces, not government," said Kalish. An expert on global economic issues as well as the effects of economic, demographic and social trends on the global business environment, Kalish also explained why a double dip is not in the cards for the U.S., why the euro will survive and why the big emerging markets will play the primary role in fueling a global recovery.
