Course Description

The global ecommerce market is projected to hit $2 trillion in 2017. With significant growth in cross-border ecommerce — 20 percent, as compared to 9 percent growth for domestic ecommerce — there is no question that entering those international markets is the path to retail success.

The Getting to Global Initiative (GtG) is a transformational public/private partnership that brings together industry experts, business leaders and government officials to empower small- and medium-sized companies to sell more online, overseas. We have brought experts together to teach you the fundamentals of global ecommerce.
