The US economy goes into 2007 with changes in the US Congress and

possible changes in US interest rates. This seminar looks at the outlook for

UK companies interested in building their market share in the United States,

and interested in selling to the largest government procurement market in

the world. US Ambassador Robert Tuttle and senior legal and financial

experts will talk about the climate for investment in the US, about

the state programmes that can help you establish or grow a US

presence and about how to finance your business with UK

based assets, a cutting edge development in global trade

and investment. Finally, hear from two companies

who have successfully done the business and

are succeeding in providing goods and

services to American clients.

Private one on one meetings

can be arranged with

representatives of K&L

Gates, HSBC and

member states of

CASE after lunch.
