The future of both Maine’s manufacturing and service sectors depends on integrating new innovative technologies. Whether incorporating big data in our marketing strategies or developing advanced robotics in our production lines, Maine business leaders must embrace new systems to compete in today’s global economy. Maine International Trade Day brings together experts in the ecommerce, robotics and advanced materials fields to discuss new technology and trends in key sectors to improve our overall productivity and efficiency. As we celebrate MITC’s 20th anniversary, Trade Day 2016 will feature an exciting line up of speakers and workshops that we hope will ignite new ideas, spark new collaborations, and build on the many creative capacities in Maine.
