"Our experience with this group in Toluca has been stellar," said Cliff Paredes, International Trade Center director. "Attendees have been working really hard during the last months to absorb the information and be able to graduate. We are looking forward to continue expanding the SBDC model throughout Mexico and the rest of the Americas."
