REGISTRATION
Join Barbara Sharief, Mayor of Broward County, Florida in attending the British Trade Mission to Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida scheduled for the 9th and 10th October 2019. This event shall run in conjunction with the Florida International Trade and Cultural Expo (FITCE) and the British Food & Drink Fayre 2017.
Broward County, South Florida, is leading the way in the USA economic recovery. Broward County, Florida is
gearing up for a stronger, more vibrant economy. Tourism numbers are up, and the international airport and seaport have never been busier. The road ahead looks bright!
In addition to the economic importance of tourism to the State, international trade and culture also contribute greatly to Broward County's economy. For 2015, trade through the South Florida region (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County) surpassed $ 106 billion, the second highest amount on record and the fourth year the total has eclipsed the $100billion dollar mark. Its Customs District enjoys a robust trade surplus of $ 10.34 billion.
One of the goals coming out of the most recent Broward County Commission Strategic Plan Visions and Goals workshop was for Broward County to “Become the center for trade in Florida to the world especially to Latin America and the Caribbean” and host a signature event.
British companies are well-positioned to benefit from these opportunities. The British Trade Mission will provide you with an excellent opportunity to enter or expand your business in the USA, and access the markets of the Caribbean and Latin America.
