VEDP exists to provide companies an opportunity to expand their reach beyond their local area to international businesses. Fred Stewart stated that, “Traveling on the 2008 USSABC-VEDP Trade Mission to Saudi Arabia strongly re-enforced our guiding principles that in today’s increasingly complex business world companies must be innovative, entrepreneurial, and global. Thanks to the reputation of the U.S.- Saudi Arabian Business Council (USSABC) and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, we were able to find and engage with organizations that have a need for our products and services.”

VSD will be traveling back to Saudi Arabia in late January of 2009.
