GLI along with a small delegation of business leaders interested in growing internationally, took part in the 2011 Futurallia Global Business to Business Forum.

The conference took place this year in Kansas City, May 18-20. The focus of the forum was to help companies grow their businesses internationally and form lucrative alliances in the commercial, financial, strategic and technological industries.

Futurallia brought together more than 800 small- to medium-sized enterprises (SME) from around the world for two days of match-making meetings. The 2011 event was the first Futurallia hosted in the United States, and GLI was there!

Here’s how Futurallia worked: business were guaranteed up to 16 meetings with business leaders of their choosing based on mutual interests and objectives. In addition to the business-to-business meetings, attendees had access to Futurallia’s networking tradeshow and social events. Translators, interpreters, and trade specialists were also on hand to facilitate connections. 

The program offered great value to businesses who have been considering a global expansion. It also provided the tools, connections and, most importantly, confidence to make the next move.
