Country Panels

Business persons are being challenged to operate in an increasingly complex, interdependent, and dynamic global environment. To compete and succeed, firms must often make considerable investments outside of their own borders. Understanding the business climate, opportunities, cultural nuances, and acceptable business practices of countries around the world is a cornerstone of the Global Village program and provides the foundation for Global Village Country Panel sessions.

As a Global Village participant, you will utilize expertise and skill to serve as a Business Development Consultant for your own home country. Challenged to provide the right information to a potential investor, you must convince the potential investor that your country has the best opportunity, incentives, and environment for their business proposition case to be successful, rather than other countries the investor may be considering for the same investment proposition. Through case work prepared by investors with actual experience, you will compete, challenge, learn and represent your country and its business environment.
