If this is Tuesday it must be Sochi? Volgograd? Borjomi? Kishenev? Yerevan?

Three week whirlwind business development tour in Russia and the CIS.

We recently conducted a comprehensive new business development trip in the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) which included Georgia, Armenia, Moldova and Russia (Moscow, Volgograd and Krasnodar).

We left expecting fifteen lengthy meetings and facility tours, what we got were 27 meetings in three weeks, little sleep and memories to last a lifetime. It was a true hands-on experience bouncing along the length of Georgia, Armenia, Moldova and south-western Russia - by car.

The businesses we visited were in the agriculture, alternative energy, construction, electronics, wine and tourism categories. What we had to offer was marketing and possible financial assistance along with agricultural and alternative energy (bio-diesel and bio-ethanol) equipment and expertise. Appointments were arranged in advance by our network of representatives in the former Soviet Union.

We found enthusiastic entrepreneurs and appreciation for our willingness to patiently travel to each site regardless of distance.

Currently we are identifying American partners and financing sources for these and other potential new clients overseas.
