2016-10-17 國際企業匯壇 International B2B Forum

 I was thinking to cancel this event because of Dad's passing away in Sept,

computer problems, FY2016 year-end report and FY 2017 planning, e.g.

but businesses from South Africa, JiLin and China have tried so hard to get VISA to come

I canot disappoint them.

The day before the event, both of the printers were offline, and I cannot print anything

on the date that I have to print/copy everything

I really hope I can cry, but I did not even have time to cry

Thanks to Roland and Jennifer for helping me print most of the materials

Thanks to Marvin for setting up the conference center for me before they left

It happened!

NEW YORK

New York – Today the NYDO held its second International Business to Business Forum. Representatives from Turkey, China, South Africa, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Caribbean and several EU countries attended. Small business owners from the district came seeking information on exporting and how to break into foreign markets. Members of the international business community hoped to learn more information about starting a business in New York. Also, 35 different government and business organizations were in attendance. Peg Yang, a New York-based immigration attorney, came to learn more about services available to her clients—many of whom own small businesses. Elnora Bagnolo hoped to make connections with business in the Caribbean

NYDO DD John Mallano welcomed the participants from 13 different countries.

第二届国际企业交流会纽约召开

【侨报记者林菁、实习生台赛10月17日纽约报道】由联邦小企业署(SBA)所主办的 “第二届国际企业交流汇谈大会” (The Second International B2B Forum) 17日在曼哈顿召开，共有600多家企业前来交流咨询，寻找合作机会。

大会从上午9时到下午2时在联邦大楼六楼会议中心举行。除了与会的企业外，部分政府单位和商会也出席了此次活动。大会共安排33名讲员为企业提供讲解和咨询，3个会议室里坐满了提前赶来的与会嘉宾。

　　联邦小企业署经济发展专员郭曼丽表示，她非常高兴能举办“第二届国际企业交流汇谈大会”，此次活动共有来自世界各地的企业参与其中。这是一个非常好的机会，既是来自吉林、福建、广东、台湾等地的华人企业大聚会，也是华人业者跟其他国家企业互相交流绝佳时机。

　　郭曼丽欣喜的表示，活动刚开始不久，就已经有几家企业达成了合作协议。而且较去年不同的是，今年有来自13个国家的企业参与交流，比去年增加了3个。另外政府官员和外国企业的数量也都较去年有明显增长。值得一提的是，与会的50多个外企中，中国的企业就有40家左右。

　　吉林农业大学食品学院教授王大为在会场表示，他们此行主要带来了两个高新技术项目，其一是玉米全籽粒高附加值综合利用项目，与传统的将玉米的利用方式相比，这种综合将玉米皮用作减肥食品、提取玉米胚的功效成分做保健食品等综合利用，可将经济效益提高十倍以上，并节约玉米原粮。第二个项目是五谷杂粮方便面，和其他的方便面相比，该面非油炸，且纯天然，毫无添加剂，是其脱颖而出的技术关键之所在。

　　王大为说，他们此次来的目的就是吸引有此意向的企业家共同投资，并吸引美国的市场推广部门去帮其推广，因为其“天然”的制作正是美国市场需要的。他说，在他们宣讲介绍后不久就有四家企业意欲与其达成协议，其中两家企业更是当场与其达成合作协议，并约在第二天展开进一步商谈合作。他表示，这次会议收获颇多，希望以后可以多多组织这样的活动。

 第二届国际企业交流大会纽约举办 联邦小企业署为世界企业交流搭台

 

[GCTV全球华视讯] 10月17日，“第二届国际企业交流汇谈大会” 在纽约联邦大楼六楼会议中心成功举行。

该活动由美国联邦小企业署经济发展专员、国贸专员郭曼丽负责主办，在纽约的二十个国家组织参与，并有中国吉林、福建、广东及南非五十多企业专程来与纽约企业交流，寻找商机及学习。

主办方联邦小企业署经济发展专员、国贸专员郭曼丽十年来到不同的族裔社区主讲创业讲座，深感纽约是世界移民之都，应该让企业能借着大家与原生地的关系而联接到全球市场。今年开始负责国际贸易，所以在五月时举办第一次国际企业交流汇谈大会，共有五百个企业参加。

 

郭曼丽在接受全球华视记者采访时表示：她做这次初衷是希望建立一个平台，让很多中国的企业了解美国企业的发展，并能达成中国企业走入国际化市场的愿望。希望中国的企业多与美国企业交流，在好的商业契机下，建立好的合作关系。她希望这个平台将来发挥成为世界企业交流共荣的功能。
