BCA-Virtual-Business-Matching-2021-IndonesiaThe United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (ITA), is organizing a Cybersecurity Business Development Mission to New Delhi and Mumbai, India, April 19-23, 2021, along with optional stops in Bangalore or Hyderabad, India.
The purpose of this trade mission is to introduce U.S. firms to rapidly expanding markets for cyber-security products and services in India. The mission will help participating firms and organizations gain market insights, make industry contacts, solidify business strategies, and advance specific projects, with the goal of increasing U.S. exports to India. By participating in an official U.S. industry delegation, rather than traveling to India on their own, U.S. companies will enhance their ability to secure meetings in those countries and gain greater exposure to the region.
By participating in the mission, U.S. companies will partake in customized, one-on-one, business appointments with pre-screened potential buyers, agents, distributors, and/or joint venture partners through which they may export their products and services to the region. The Mission will provide opportunities for participants to have policy and regulatory framework discussions with foreign government representatives in order to advance U.S. cybersecurity sector interests and it will provide participants with an opportunity to meet with local governments and/or associations, to foster long-term partnerships, and to share best practices.

The California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), the US Commercial Service and the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce cordially invite you to join this business opportunities mission to discover and plug into current supply chain market opportunities in Baja California. During this mission, California companies will hear from, and be introduced to potential business partners including government officials and prime contractors in Baja California.
This program is exclusive for qualified and selected California small businesses. There is no cost to participate, however registration is required. Interested California companies can register through the California State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) by selecting “Mexico IT & Aerospace Virtual Trade Mission” from the list of activities.
Market Opportunities:
IT/Electronics: The electronic industry in Baja California has 184 manufacturing plants and hundreds of suppliers that have generated more than 120,000 direct jobs of which about 64% are concentrated in the city of Tijuana.
Aerospace: Baja California has become Mexico’s most important state for aerospace after four decades of development and investment. Today, Baja California drives the country’s aerospace output with over 80 companies and exports of around $1.8 billion. These companies, however, require inputs and 95% of all supplies are still imported into Baja. This represents a strong sales opportunity for the aerospace industry in Southern California.
Trade Mission Formation:
California delegates will first meet in a virtual group setting with key IT/Electronic and/or aerospace players from Tijuana and Mexicali who will explain their organizations plans, priorities and procurement processes. After the group presentations, California delegates will meet one-on-one with relevant authorities to present their products/services and receive immediate feedback on next steps forward. Based on interest received, additional one-on-one closed door meetings will also be arranged on May 6th.

As international companies enter a new market, they often struggle to find the right local partners to integrate into this complex region.

Select LA provides international and local companies with a comprehensive understanding of the region’s investment ecosystem with actionable insights that can guide key business decisions.
Through matchmaking technology and over four hours of networking, Select LA offers the perfect environment to create and foster new relationships with individuals who are responsible for turning a conversation into an investment opportunity.
