The OWIT International panel of members discussed how SMEs and women can more effectively participate in international trade and lessons to be learned to help shape the rules that govern international trade. The Moderator, Andrea Ewart, CEO, DevelopTradeLaw, LLC, and President of OWIT International, posed questions to the panelists, who spoke from the perspectives of: (1) corporations working to incorporate SMEs into their supply chain; and (2) women-owned SMEs operating in global markets. The experience of two IT firms operating in Kenya and in California was also represented on the panel.
