Ladlas Prince is active in attending this workshop regularly and appreciates Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) for making this available for the public. We appreciate the knowledge sharing and the opportunities we have gained to support fellow small businesses entering the Sub-Saharan Africa market.
OPIC holds this workshop, EXPANDING HORIZONS: A Workshop for Small Businesses Entering International Markets, multiple times and in multiple cities every year. The workshop is an opportunity to learn about the OPIC and other federal and local resources available to help American firms take advantage of international opportunities for their business.
OPIC experts discuss the financing and insurance products it makes available in markets including Africa, Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East and in industries like renewable energy, housing, health, agribusiness, tourism, services, franchising, and more. Trade specialists from other agencies including the U.S. Department of Commerce’s U.S. Commercial Service and the Small Business Administration’s Office of International Trade participate and are available to talk about their programs that support exporting. In addition to presentations, the event makes available one-on-one appointments for attendees to meet directly with presenters to discuss specific needs.
