On August 14, 2014, General Jean-Paul Paloméros, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, addressed 90 Virginia companies in Norfolk, Virginia. General Paloméros spoke during VEDP’s Kickoff Workshop for the Going Global Defense Initiative, which helps Virginia’s defense-related companies diversify into new international markets.
To date, over 200 defense-related companies from around Virginia have been accepted into VEDP-International Trade’s Going Global Defense Initiative. Now in its second year, the Going Global Defense Initiative generates international sales for Virginia’s defense companies by providing the following:
- Research on International Markets
- Export Compliance
- Contract and Proposal Generation
- Technical Translation and Adaptation
- Events with U.S. Combatant Commands
- Export Training
- Online Directory of Virginia Defense Companies
- Going Global Training Courses
Spaces are filling quickly for these programs. Defense-related companies that are interested in participating are encouraged to contact their local Defense Initiative Manager to determine eligibility.
