Last week, ITC hosted a Business Roundtable with the U.K. Tech for Logistics Delegation in Miami. The meeting highlighted the vast opportunities available in #Miami for companies looking to expand into the U.S. and Latin American & Caribbean markets. Miami-Dade County’s strategic location, advanced logistics infrastructure, and access to global markets make it an ideal hub for growth and innovation.   ITC, alongside Justin Quiles, MS from SelectFlorida, outlined how they can assist companies in entering and navigating the Miami/Florida market, offering resources, partnerships, and guidance for business expansion.
