What This Means For Florida:
As Florida strive to improve our connectivity and access to other markets, we should be mindful of opportunities that non-traditional markets bring. Emerging markets are still ripe for growth in the coming decades but diversifying our trading partners is essential to stay ahead of the game.
The Florida Chamber has long advocated for policies that call for strategic investments in international economic development. From continuing our support of Enterprise Florida export capacity building grants for small businesses and opening and supporting our foreign offices, to investing in a marketing campaign to promote the state globally – all are strategies that where highlighted in the Florida Chamber Foundation’s Trade and Logistics Studies and continue to be part of the Florida Business Agenda.
