The BRICS Countries – A Global Growth Powerhouse - Speaker Presentation Slides to view online

MONTEREY, CA, June 7, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- If you were asked to name the greatest economic powers in today’s global economy, you would be inclined to mention the United States and perhaps the European Union, China, Japan or Germany. However, if you were asked to identify the countries that will be the economic powers in 2050, would you have the same answer?

On May 24th in Monterey, California a group of business professionals from both the public and private sectors gathered at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) for a conference called ‘The BRICS Countries – A Global Growth Powerhouse’, organized by the Monterey Bay International Trade Association (MBITA) and TradePort.org in collaboration with the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS). The speakers discussed, debated, interacted and presented their knowledge and perspectives on what are the best methods for successful bilateral trade and investment between American companies and the booming BRICS marketplace.

MBITA/TradePort's conference was a great success for all presenters and attendees. The event showcased 17 different presenters on their BRICS expertise. If you missed the event, all the presenter's slides can be viewed in the event agenda page.

The opportunities and challenges that exist when working with the BRICS countries as the strongest growing regional sector in the world were addressed. All of the panelists and presenters demonstrated a clear picture that there are tremendous opportunities for American companies for bilateral trade and investment with the BRICS, especially in the IT, agro-technology, clean-tech and agricultural industries.
