The Utah Global forum will help businesses export successfully, adapt to today s global marketplace and succeed in untapped markets. There are more than seven billion potential customers in the world, and 2.4 billion of them are online. How many of those customers are yours? How many can you reach today? The opportunity for any business to expand into international market is easier than ever. E-commerce has redefined business borders; companies are no longer confined by city, state or country. Today, expanding your sales abroad enhances your bottom line. The Utah Global Forum will facilitate the dialogue on how businesses can expand beyond local borders and develop a strategy of expansion into the global marketplace through exporting opportunities. The forum offers an incredible breadth of content, bringing experts from across industry together, all with a single objective: move Utah businesses to the global stage to meet the challenges of today s business environment. The Utah Global Forum will also create a special focus on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Utah. FDI represents an opportunity for companies of all sizes to become more actively involved in international business activities. FDI may take many forms: a direct acquisition, construction of facilities, investment in a joint venture, or strategic alliance with a local firm technology or licensing of intellectual property. Wherever we go, our message to the national and international business community is clear: we want you to be a part of Utah s future and we want you to make Utah a part of your future. Now, more than ever, Utah is the right place to invest and do business. Governor Gary R. Herbert State of Utah
