The Trade Winds Forum typically attracts over 300 participants, serving as the central gathering point for all registered attendees.In addition to the forum, U.S. exporting businesses have the opportunity to customize their participation through optional business-to-business matchmaking meetings with pre-screened buyers, agents, distributors, and potential joint-venture partners in the host country, as well as in additional mission stop markets.RANE Global participated in the Trade Winds program in representation of the State of Maryland, supporting trade promotion efforts by engaging with international companies, facilitating dialogue with U.S. commercial diplomats, and advancing cross-border commercial relationships.
