Mission to Germany

As reported in the Alliance's International Trade Study, hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state of Oregon, including 268,000 right here in the Portland region, depend on international trade.

In order to strengthen the region's trade relationships, the Alliance and its affiliate, the Pacific Northwest International Trade Association (PNITA) organize trade missions to strategic trade partner countries. In 2009, a delegation went to China and the latest was a mission to Germany from March 26 to April 2, 2011.

If you are interested in participating in a future mission or want to learn more about countries we are interested in visiting, please contact Doug Badger, PNITA's Executive Director.
