2020 International Business Summit

International Business Summit (IBS) was launched in 2008 due to a collective agreement in the Latin Consular Corp of North Texas to strengthen trade between their countries and the rest of the world using Dallas Fort Worth as the platform to move sustainable relationships forward.

IBS follows Asian and Latin American (Pacific-Rim) FTA and the positive impact Dallas Fort Worth offers for their global and regional competitiveness.

The adverse effects of Covid-19 on international trade command us more than ever to connect, plan, and reshape a solid global strategy.

IBS’ partnership with the Asian Chamber of Texas brings the most diverse Asian-American ethnic integration of independent business leaders united in fostering economic integration opportunities, innovation, product development, and marketing tools that enable dynamic and sustainable economies.
