Port of Spain
Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll
invites Florida companies to join her and Enterprise Florida on an Export
Sales Mission to Trinidad & Tobago. The Lt. Governor will lead this
export sales mission for Florida companies to the two-island nation of the
Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Known as the largest and strongest economy
in the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago has one of the highest growth rates and
per capita incomes in the region which positions the country as a hub for
U.S. business activities. Ranked as one of Florida’s top export destinations,
exports to the country have continued to increase over the years. In 2011,
Florida exports were $557.4 million with a 24.1 percent increase in total
bilateral merchandise trade.
Florida’s superb international
trade infrastructure and the business community’s experience and expertise in
doing business in the Caribbean and Latin America, uniquely qualifies us as
an ideal trading partner with Trinidad and Tobago!

September
11-16, 2012
Cannes, France
The Cannes International Boat Show, Sept. 11-16, remains one of
Europe’s leading in-water exhibitions. As the region’s first gathering of the
season, the Cannes show brings together the key players in pleasure boating
and international luxury yachting. Yacht owners or future buyers can take
advantage of a unique opportunity offered at this show: the sea trials! The
Cannes International Boat Show remains the only European show to offer large
yacht sea-trials during the show making it an important “must attend” event
for serious and elite buyers.
For the 4th consecutive year,
Enterprise Florida has secured a limited amount of exhibition space in the
main section of the show - in a high traffic, premier location adjacent to Sunseeker
Yacht. This year, Cannes will conclude only three days before the Monaco
Yacht show begins, offering a very cost effective opportunity to target the
coveted European yachting audience.
Enterprise
Florida is offering a 10% Early Bird Discount through April 10th off of a 9m2
turn-key booth package. Only three booths left remain!
The
deadline to register is June 8, 2012
