Increasingly, our Commonwealth's future relies on our ability to compete in a global marketplace. That's why VITAL — an alliance of public- and private-sector leaders —is working to ensure that Virginia is well positioned to take advantage of international business opportunities.

While VITAL's 2008 Initiatives represent concrete, immediate steps that will enhance our global competiveness today, VITAL's members are ensuring that the dialog continues — and that our progress will continue for years to come.

In 2008, VITAL is moving to implement 18 initiatives to fuel Virginia's international economic engine to drive trade, investment and job creation. VITAL represents a powerful way to help shape key international trade issues that are important to business.

"By being aware of the developments within emerging markets and encouraging the Commonwealth's representation within those markets, we can utilize VITAL'S resources to help find agents and potential customers in areas that historically have proven difficult to penetrate."
