International Trade Seminars & Missions

Congressman Mica has sponsored numerous trade and export seminars to help Central Florida compete in the global marketplace.  On September 26, 1994 and again on October 18, 1996, Mica brought together federal, State and local trade experts with representatives from Central Florida's small and medium sized businesses.  Those who attended were provided with information on how to expand their export activities by utilizing the latest financing and marketing resources and assistance available.

Mica has also organized several trade missions to the Slovak Republic, taking with him a delegation of Central Florida business representatives.  These visits, conducted in 1994 and 1999, resulted in direct trade opportunities and agreements for several participating members.
