Times are changing.
 Technology and
free trade agreements have almost erased national borders. New types of communications and
information technology have created frontiers and radically changed the pace and the way
business is transacted. International commerce is creating more competition
but it is also giving
smaller companies more chances to compete against larger ones. Never before has the global
"playing field" become so even and opportunities so abundant. But
what has not
changed are national cultures and the need for personal and trusted relationships.

International Business Development
WIBV identifies business opportunities in Japan and North America,
providing time-sensitive market intelligence and when required, the right
connections. We report and follow technology trends, assess joint venture partners and
manage projects in both regions. We identify new business opportunities, points of market
entry and provide guidance on licensing, staffing, technology transfer and financing.
Global Venture Forum 2003
 WIBV is the North American Secretariat for
GVF, the international
investment and business development forum held in Osaka every October. On behalf of the
Osaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry, WIBV recruits applicants to give business plan

environmental, bio-medical and other high technology industries. This unique event has
resulted in numerous firms successfully finding partners for technology transfer,
distribution and finance. Please see the brochure.
