McAllen Business Matchmaking Event gets Rescheduled

A Business Matchmaking Event hosted by the McAllen Chamber of Commerce and CANACINTRA - Reynosa, in collaboration with the Mexican Consulate in McAllen, MEDC and the UTPA SBDC is scheduled for Thursday, July 1, 2010 at the McAllen Chamber Conference Room, 1200 Ash Ave.

The event is expected to provide members of both communities with opportunities that could result in new business relations and lead to sales increases as well as cost savings.

Also, as part of this event, a seminar with presentations from the different collaborators will be held covering areas such as “How to Start a Business in McAllen,” “Import & Export Requirements” and “Immigration for Investors,” among others.

“This matchmaking effort was originally scheduled for June 18, 2010 and it has been rescheduled to accommodate the needs of the different types of businesses interested in participating,” commented Luis Cantu, VP of Inter American Relations, “Similar events were conducted with the State of Veracruz in the past with very positive results and we expect it will be as successful this time with our sister city of Reynosa.” It is great that we can get the support from the Mexican Consulate, the McAllen Economic Development Center and the Small Business Development Center to bring this type of events together.” Concluded Cantu.
