  • ‘Have a Washington80 tie’, will travel, that seems to be the moral of the odyssey of one particular dragon-emblazoned piece of neckwear.
  • Congratulations to 19 Neath Port Talbot College (NPTC) students who recently returned from a successful trip to the World Trade Fair for Virtual Enterprise Companies in the US.
  • Social networking, say all the business gurus, is now THE way to keep yourself connected. And Washington80 companies have certainly been demonstrating that by joining a dedicated Linked In network.
  • The fastest, often most successful, route to establish a business base in the US is through an In Market Partner. In this edition of the Washington80 enewsletter we meet the CEO of one already familiar with a number of Welsh companies: Kelly Waters of Waters Group Global.
  • Latin America will not necessarily be on every company’s ‘first choice’ list of places to find new business. But in a rapidly changing global economy, there are now huge opportunities to be exploited in countries such as Brazil and Mexico – the two nations being singled out for trade missions over the coming months.
  • One of the companies joining the return mission to Washington this June will be Green Bay media – and with good reason.
  • One Washington80 company that has really been making headway in the US over the last year is Patent Seekers – with new clients already established and a flow of work starting to emerge as a direct result.
  • Having clients based in Halifax is no big deal for a UK company. Unless, of course, the Halifax in question is the capital city of Nova Scotia.
  • One of the original aims of the Washington80 mission – to foster synergistic new collaborations and working relationships between Welsh companies – has been realised with Kuecept Ltd, the specialist drug delivery technology company, becoming the first company to sign up as an Affiliate of the Institute of Life Science (ILS) at Swansea University.
  • As this enewsletter reaches you, UK Trade & Investment are looking forward to the return of International Business Wales to Washington - both ‘new to market’ companies and returning members of the Washington80. In particular, we’re anticipating building on the relationships forged in 2009 during Wales Week at the Smithsonian Festival, where we celebrated the culture, traditions and business-friendly environment of Wales on the National Mall.
