Global Commerce led its first Global Talent Educational Mission in 2008. The educational mission is designed to expose business members, especially our Small & Medium Enterprise members, to international markets. During the educational mission, participants learn about several aspects of the international market: differentiation in consumer markets; working with business partners in the market; how to get started in the market; and obstacles to consider. The goal of the educational mission is to give our members a truly global prospective on international business.
