As we enter into a new year, WEGG will continue its focus offering top notch education programming via its popular monthly WEGGinars™ and on-the-ground workshops but we will also look into building an online platform that facilitates “access” to key movers and shakers in international trade and encourages more knowledge sharing peer-to-peer. Watch for more on this development as the year progresses. And if you are not signed up for our WEGG World Newsletter, here’s a sample of what you missed in our last issue. By signing up, you can stay in the know on all things related to expanding your business globally. It’s the eve of a new year: be joyful and gear up to go global.
