 In the weeks leading up to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in November 2011, a nine-session “APEC 2011 Opportunity Series” will inform local companies and connect them with real international opportunities. The series is being developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and will feature dynamic speakers from the U.S. Embassies in each APEC market and private sector firms with experience in key APEC countries.

This informative and timely seminar series will kick off on July 28, 2011 with the first session featuring Japan and South Korea. This session will include the latest on the Japan recovery and current business climate and the huge potential of the pending free trade agreement with South Korea.
