The representative of the International University for the Humanities and Development, A. Khydyrov, is participating in the educational program “International Trade, Development, and Finance,” organized by the U.S. Department of State. The program brings together representatives from more than 30 countries from various areas of public administration. The training program takes place in the cities of Washington, Philadelphia, Reno, Dallas, and Orlando.
The program began in the U.S. capital, Washington, D.C., where participants met with representatives of the U.S. Trade Office, the “Cato Institute” — an institute studying public policy decisions regarding American trade policy, and the “Atlantic Council” — a council that studies issues related to modern global challenges, political and economic strategies, and security policy. A meeting was also held with Ms. Karen Kerrigan, Director of the Council on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
The main topics discussed during the meetings included the study of U.S. federalism and public administration; trade and economic cooperation as a key element of U.S. foreign relations; tariffs, quotas, and sanctions policy; tools for strategic trade decision-making; government policy on supporting private business and attracting foreign investment; U.S. economic unions and blocs, as well as the prospects of renewable economies for the global economy.
The program continued in Philadelphia, where a meeting was held with representatives of the U.S. Trade Office of Philadelphia and a visit to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF). During the meetings, participants learned about methods of attracting foreign investments, the role of universities in developing human capital and business research, the city’s “start-up” business development program, and the prospects of innovative technologies for business and the environment as a whole.
Then participants traveled to the city of Reno, Nevada. There, meetings were held with Alex Bashus, Director of the Western Division of the Nevada Economic Development Authority, and Bradford Scribner, Manager of the Community Project of the Nevada Small Business Development Center. The participants also visited the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Reno.
The main topics discussed included the diversification of Nevada’s economy, particularly in Reno, the attraction of foreign investments to the city, innovation, economic incentives for entrepreneurship, and the creation of a successful business ecosystem, as well as methods for promoting local goods to international markets.
The representative of the International University for the Humanities and Development, A. Khydyrov, informed the participants about the favorable conditions for doing business in the country. In this context, the program participants learned about broad investment opportunities, a number of initiatives aimed at stimulating the private sector, import substitution, and increasing the competitiveness of national products in world markets, as well as the special role of expanding public-private partnerships. Information was also provided about the opening of a new higher education institution in the country with a non-governmental form of ownership — the International University of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
The educational program will continue until October 25 in the cities of Dallas and Orlando.
