This initiative is organized by the Asia Pacific Latin America Trade and Investment Promotion Center (AP-LAC) and will offer talks and keynote lectures given by national and international experts.
“This was a pioneering idea in the region, a project in which a group of businessmen and professionals believed and decided to join forces for establishing the first organization in Central America fully specialized in Asia Pacific,” said Andrés Gamboa, CEO of the AP-LAC Center. .
Export and import trade, foreign direct investment, tourism, education and innovation, and technology are some of the topics that will be addressed in this edition.
