One-hour webinar packed with information on the business climate, market opportunities and how to finance them in both Colombia and Panama. Free Trade Agreements with these countries were recently signed for good reasons: Colombia is the 3rd largest economy in Central and South America and Panama is not only a maritime and air transport hub, but an international trading, banking and services center par excellence. Senior Commercial Officers of the US Embassies in Bogotá and Panama City will pinpoint potential opportunities. Hear first-hand experience from Caterpillar Latin America offering their perspective on doing business in the region. Learn about how to finance your exports with the help of our speaker from the Export Import Bank of the United States offering suggestions on how to optimize your business deals in the region.
