As a globe-trotter in training and have been imported tea and computer products, I have learned the hard to prepare your company for an international market. I am an American in spirit and great supporter of the American sense-of-life. The North American has been "enough" for many U.S. based companies in the past, but I think we will see a shift of more global trade in the future.

True that. I am in search of partners organizations that want to take their business to East Africa to take advantage of the 7-9% economic growth in that region.. My areas of interest are: Heavy Construction Equipment(export) and Timber(export).

It's important to note that, economic downturn aside, the global opportunities out there are incredible. Thanks for this overview.
