New Caribbean Trade Center Expands MEDC Coverage to 100+ Markets
MEDC’s International Trade team is excited to announce the addition of a Caribbean Trade Center to its global coverage of now 100+ foreign markets. Exporters can benefit from a closely situated market that has an excellent trading relationship with the US. The Caribbean Basin is close in many cultural aspects, is ideal for sectors requiring proximity, and has an economy based on services that require high-tech partnering. The region imports a wide range of goods and services making it a key export destination in terms of absolute export numbers as well as across a range of industries. Opportunities include industries such as agri-tech, defense, energy solutions, business consulting, information technology, infrastructure, and healthcare.
Michigan’s Caribbean Trade Center covers Bahamas, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, and more. Michigan exporters are encouraged to leverage the market knowledge and industry connections of local experts to explore market expansion to these countries.
