As described by AmCham:
America is the land of business opportunity for Australia. In the current economic climate, the opportunity exists to import from the USA at very competitive exchange rates, or become an agent or distributor for American made goods.
Investment opportunities are also very good – not just in real estate but other areas. And of course, for the right product, exporting is viable or launching your business in the USA is a real option.

Pennsylvania Authorized Trade Representatives in Bedford, PA.
As the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Authorized Investment Representative, Foley & Associates will be exhibiting at AIMEX 2011 to feature Pennsylvania’s commitment to the mining industry. Showing just how important mining has become to Pennsylvania, its top export in 2010 was coal, doubling its level from 2009. Pennsylvania provides a great base for Australian/New Zealand companies to set-up operations and establish a foothold in the US market.
Australian/New Zealand companies interested in establishing a base in the US and learning more about selecting the right location, set-up options, and how to access funding and local expertise are encouraged to visit us for confidential discussions.
Taking place from 6 - 9 September at the Sydney Showground, AIMEX has been firmly established on the international mining industry calendar. It is where Australian and international suppliers of mining technology, equipment and services come together with mining industry buyers and specifiers from throughout the Asia-Pacific region to explore mutually beneficial business opportunities, exchange technical information and network in an interactive business environment.

CENTRAL PA MINING INDUSTRIES (Catalog Show)
HCAR prides itself on fostering innovation that directly impacts the lives of those in the local, regional and global community. HCAR tenant ide+ shares the very same ideal and plays a major role in helping its customers bring new products to market.
ide+ provides design and engineering services to companies wishing to develop new products for mass production. Their customers are deeply rooted in a number of industries, including medical devices and industrial product development. ide+ believes that successful products and project outcomes are created by following an idea through the initial stages of concept planning, technical design and engineering to marketing and manufacturing.
ide+ established its North American base in Hershey nearly one year ago, becoming the first international company to open an office at HCAR. Richard Sokolov, one of the founders, learned about HCAR when Jack Atchason, Director of Business Development, attended a conference in Australia. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development supported the international outreach trip through the Regional Investment Marketing grant program.
“Adding a tenant like ide+ demonstrates HCAR’s commitment to helping foreign companies break into the U.S. market,” said Atchason. “Proximity to major clients was a huge advantage that HCAR had to offer, and that’s a real credit to the growth of the region.”
ide+ chose Central Pennsylvania as its North American base thanks in part to its close proximity to both existing ide+ clients and to a thriving local industry, particularly in the key areas of life sciences and advanced manufacturing. ide+ has worked closely with Angela Foley, the international investment representative in Australia for the PA Department of Community and Economic Development Office of International Business Development, to establish the office and reach out to the growing biomedical sector in the region.
The company plans to use its office at HCAR as a basis for growing business in the U.S. They are a relatively small organization now, with a staff of 15 people. The directors are still hands-on, but they have begun the recruitment process to find a full-time operations manager for their new outpost in Hershey.
