Economic diplomacy in action

Trade Missions

Over the last decade, ALF has executed trade missions that bring U.S. business leaders, investors, governments and regional institutions closer together across Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.

What a mission does

More than a trade mission: a platform for investment and growth.

ALF trade missions are designed as practical platforms for economic diplomacy. They attract foreign direct investment, promote exports and market access, facilitate technology transfer, position cities and regions globally, and strengthen institutional credibility by bringing governments, companies, investors and multilateral institutions into the same strategic conversation.

Certified Trade Missions

Designed with local and regional governments and officially certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce, these missions spotlight a territory’s industries, infrastructure, workforce and investment potential while opening trusted channels with U.S. business leaders.

Multilateral Trade Missions

Co-organized with international organizations such as the Inter-American Development Bank, these missions bring governments, companies and investors together within a broader multilateral framework, expanding visibility, credibility and access to regional opportunities.
