NC-based globalization consulting firm, Align Global Consulting is hosting a morning event on May 3, 2012, at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel for companies in the Research Triangle region to learn about international expansion and joint ventures opportunities in Manchester, UK. Like the Research Triangle Region, Manchester is home to a well-established and leading research park, the Manchester Science Park. The Manchester region is leading the way in assisting emerging growth companies with their initial foray into international expansion.

Whether your company is currently doing business internationally or has aspirations to do so, this is a highly relevant event. Topics will include planning for international expansion, structuring cross-border joint ventures and distribution agreements, the UK as a natural partner for cross-border investment, and Manchester as a cost-effective alternative to London.
