UTSA International Trade Center hosts foreign direct-investment seminar Nov. 14
(Nov. 13, 2014) -- The International Trade Center, a small business development center in the UTSA Institute for Economic Development, is partnering with the U.S. Commercial Service, Cacheaux, Cavazos and Newton LLP, Foster Quan LLP and the Almanza Business Group to host "Invirtiendo en Texas (Investing in Texas)." The full-day, foreign direct-investment seminar in Spanish will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 14 in the Durango Building Southwest Room (2.316) at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
The IED Texas International Business Accelerator (TIBA) first organized "Invirtiendo en Texas" in 2012. Since then, it has grown to include more topics and partners. The event takes place two to three times per year in San Antonio and Austin, as part of the TIBA foreign direct-investment program.
The training will cover business and legal topics directed to foreign entrepreneurs seeking to put their investment capital to work to expand, invest or create a business in Texas. Morning presentations will cover how to use the services of the U.S. Commercial Service. Additional sessions will address selecting a U.S. business structure for investment projects, how to start a business in the U.S., intricacies of the U.S. professional visa programs and U.S. taxes. The day will wrap up with a question-and-answer session followed by one-on-one consultations between attendees and presenters.
"'Invirtiendo en Texas' has been a very successful training program for us, and we are pleased to be able to continue to evolve it," said Jaime Martinez, senior TIBA international business advisor. "Through this training, we have seen first-hand just how much interest there is in investing capital in Texas."
The UTSA International Trade Center is one of the largest and most successful trade assistance organizations in Texas. It helps companies become globally competitive through technical trade advising, customized market research and innovative training programs. The center is a specialty SBDC program in the South-West Texas Border SBDC Network.
