3rd International Trade Symposium: Promoting Environmental Sustainability - Michigan State University
In recognition of the urgent need for greater international cooperation on environmental and health issues, a consortium of organizations in the State of Michigan has organized a program designed to promote the development of a new level of cooperation between Michigan and China.
The program will introduce representatives of national and provincial governments, environmentally concerned businesses and universities from China to the broad range of "green" business, research and government sponsored programs which have potential for helping China manage its environmental challenges.
The State of Michigan, under the leadership of Governor Jennifer Granholm, has launched a broad policy initiative to help Michigan industry and universities become global leaders in providing answers to the challenges of climate change. Michigan's century old world class manufacturing expertise is being redesigned to promote the "green economy." Developing mutually beneficial economic relationships with China is a key component of achieving this goal.

Lansing Regional Chamber Economic Club Luncheon: Dr. David Cole - Michigan State University
Speaker: Dr. David Cole, Chairman, Center for Automotive Research
The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Thirty-one universities were designated as centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
