Announcement
|
Coming this Spring! ThinkGlobal, in cooperation with
Enterprise Florida, is working on a new resource for Florida exporters
– the Florida Export Guide. This colorful, magazine-style
guide will serve as an informational resource for Florida exporters.
The purpose of the guide is to provide Florida companies with expert
advice and answers to frequently asked questions about exporting. It
will also include information about key contacts, web sites and other
resources for exporters. Advertisers in the Florida Export Guide will have a
unique opportunity to reach a highly targeted group of active
exporters, in print and online. We look forward to working with our
trade and economic development partners to launch this new exporting
tool.
