GtG and its partners host live global ecommerce training events around the globe and publish weekly video interviews and blog posts capturing straight-talking ... insights and best-practices in online global strategy from leading retailers, branded suppliers and industry experts. GtG also curates a growing portfolio of global ecommerce coursework, export tools, a service provider list and government services.The Foundation for American Science and Technology (FAST) working together with organizations such as the Global Retail Insights Network (The GRIN Labs), the Centers for International Trade and Development (CITD) Los Angeles, and a growing number of partner associations, companies and government agencies, will help facilitate the ease at which retailers, branded suppliers and software companies are able to sell and export their commodities and services online, and foster job creation in the U.S.As part of this work, FAST is partnered with government agencies to profile export-focused content for this initiative and will profile this content along with other content in this private sector website. This website contains content generated by the Grin Labs and/or FAST that goes beyond the content produced in collaboration with the U.S. Government. It is important to note, even though some of the content is jointly developed with government agencies under partnership agreements, this is a private sector website and not a U.S. Government website.
