Trulaske Stories

The insight provided is exactly what we need.  The research completed hit on information we have been chasing after and will help us to connect the dots within the renewable energy industry sector that is of interest to us.

My project allowed me to learn about global markets relevant to my industry of interest. This proved to be eye-opening, as there are limited ways for Mizzou students to get such insight into international markets.

The most important thing I learned during my time as an intern with the MU International Trade Center was the importance of teamwork.

Through my time with Mizzou's ITC, I have become confident in my abilities to interpret large amounts of data, utilize different databases, and communicate research findings in an accessible way.

The overall environment of the internship was unbelievably positive and if I had one negative thing to say it would be that it ended too soon.

Exploring global markets to provide useful information for American Outdoor Brands allowed me to understand the different processes, costs, and information needed when participating in international trade.

We would highly recommend this opportunity to other businesses interested in evaluating global market opportunities for their business.

From putting us in touch with the right organizations and expertise to assist with answering technical questions, to customizing research to identify market opportunities, our relationship with the ITC has enabled us to make informed key strategic decisions as we roll out international sales efforts.

We get lots of advice from outside consultants and rarely is it as thorough, well organized, clearly laid out and real world as the information shared by you.

It was a pleasure to be included in this program, and we extend our best wishes to the students, and to the faculty and advisors who made it such an impressive success.
