UTSA, IED and International Trade Center to Host Central American Delegation

San Antonio, TX (June 20, 2012) – Government representatives from Central American countries will be hosted by UTSA’s Institute of Economic Development and the International Trade Center from June 25-26, 2012. The objective of their visit is to receive additional training for the development of the Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) in their countries.

The International Trade Center staff has been providing training to the governments of the visiting delegations’ countries (Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Dominican Republic and Panama).

“We are very excited to host this Central America delegation. The goal of training and collaborating with these governments is to give them the tools to help their small and medium businesses expand their trade capabilities and develop stronger commercial ties with the U.S. We are proud to be part of extending the SBDC Network throughout the Western Hemisphere as a trade facilitation infrastructure”, said Cliff Paredes, Director of the International Trade Center.
