Those organizations that do not find the right partner who understands these matters end up spending colossal amounts of money and additionally risk running afoul of the various laws and regulations governing their business.

IAG has developed the "Strategic Execution Alliance (“SEA”)," as a service.

It is about developing a pioneering collaboration between IAG and a client, trade association, government export or investment agency and similar entity to plan how to successfully enter the US market with goods and services from a foreign nation.  Part of the strategy may then involve re-export from the US to the foreign market.

This initiative aims to redefine the landscape of business innovation and economic growth in the U.S. by providing a systematic approach to operationalizing strategic insights and fostering global collaborations. "“SEA”" is for those looking to control cost but need the "we don't know what we don't know help" from “SEA”soned export and import advisors.

In today's rapidly evolving global economic landscape, the successful transition from conceptual strategies to actionable implementations is crucial for businesses seeking to expand into new markets. The "“SEA”" is meticulously crafted for each client to facilitate this transition by offering a comprehensive methodology that streamlines the operationalization process, enabling businesses to achieve tangible outcomes faster and more effectively.

Key highlights of the Strategic Execution Alliance (“SEA”) include:

• Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation through a structured approach that is driven by deliverables to success.

• Forging strategic international partnerships to enrich the operationalization process with diverse perspectives and foster a dynamic exchange of cultural and intellectual capital.

• Leveraging the state-of-the-art resources and intellectual reservoir of the IAG's executive team as the epicenter for collaborative innovation when needed.

• IAG, as an Advisor, working work hand-in-hand with the client for the completion of strategic initiatives to ensure they are actively executing the path.

There are various ways the service can be delivered, for example:

Individual clients: IAG acting as a “representation office” in the US for the client and handling the various matters such banking services, meeting trading partners, setting up corporate governance structures.

Trade, Export and Investment agencies or representative bodies: IAG can collaborate with the agency/association/representative body and it underlying members through a shared cost mechanism. As an example, each participant in the foreign country trade body can contribute a portion of a total fee to access IAG’s top-tier advisory services with real-world international and domestic experience, and fostering a collective growth ethos. IAG’s investment will then be reduced advisory fees being charged to the participants by IAG partners who might for example ordinarily charge a higher amount per month per client.  This thus ensures a highly cost-effective solution for all participants. The mechanism would be subject to a minimum of clients from the association/body, say, 5 clients participating for no less than six months in this cost-sharing mechanism.

By joining forces with the "Strategic Execution Alliance (“SEA”)," those seeking entry into the US markets can access unparalleled advisory services, real-time strategic feedback, and a platform designed for substantial growth, innovation, and strategic breakthroughs.
