MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
The future is no longer future…it is here now with the Global Trade industry and our students will need to learn new skills related to new technologies.  Technology is changing the landscape in a variety of ways.  The Internet of Things, E-Commerce, Blockchain, and Automated document processing is reducing transaction costs in global trade.  AI, Automation, and 3D Printing are changing Production processes.  Electric Vehicles, Renewables, and Digital goods are impacting new goods and goods movement.  Proximity to consumer markets, access to resources, workforce skills, and infrastructure quality are accelerating the shift in global trade flows from goods to services. The more that our students know about wireless networks, virtual reality, augmented reality, and robotics, the better prepared they will be in the technological future that is NOW.
