Prior to each mission, we organize information seminars to gauge companies' interest in participating in a trade mission. Every year, we organize a dozen trade missions abroad. We have gone to Japan, Mexico and other countries around the world. We use those seminars to present entrepreneurs with business opportunities and give them a chance to join the mission if they are ready to do so. We usually bring between 8 and 20 companies per mission. Recently, we organized a mission to China with 71 participants, exceptionally, but that's not the norm.
