What country has a hot aerospace sector and is eager to do business with America?
That would be Singapore and earlier this week, representatives of nine New Hampshire companies lined up to talk with Haw Cheng Ng, a trade specialist with the US Department of Commerce, about the opportunities available in that country halfway around the world.
“The Singapore aerospace industry is project to grow by 10 percent per year,” he said.
Many of his appointments, which were one-on-one in meetings in Portsmouth and Concord, were with companies that have joined the New Hampshire Aerospace and Defense Export Consortium.
The good news?
“The companies I have met with have been good ones and I believe there are great opportunities for them to supply the Singapore aerospace and defense market,” he said.
The New Hampshire Office of International Trade Resource Center offers a number of programs to help Granite State companies, no matter what their business is, to explore and expand into international markets.
Clearly, there is a world of opportunity out there.
