I started this blog because...

...international trade is an important part of the Sacramento region's economy, and will be even more crucial in the future as California ports accept a huge increase in imports from Asia. The Northern California World Trade Center is the region's premier international business membership organization, providing a variety of programs, events, and services to local businesses who are already engaged in trade or who are interested in learning about opportunities available in the global marketplace. I wanted to start this blog to create a forum for information on international trade in Sacramento - a place where interested people can learn about events and programs, and learn about statistics and companies that are leaders in international trade in our area. I welcome any comments and feedback, and I invite you to visit the NCWTC's website at www.norcalwtc.org.
