The International Trade Partnership is a collaboration among the academic, state government and business communities in southern Wisconsin. The partnership strives to enhance the competitiveness of Wisconsin companies on a global scale, to prepare future leaders for the global marketplace, and to build alliances between the university and business communities.  To do so, we host monthly events, which typically feature distinguished UW-Madison faculty, prominent business executives or seasoned state government employees - all of whom offer a wealth of knowledge, experience and advice about the challenges and opportunities of operating within today's global markets.   

The Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), Madison International Trade Association (MITA), and the State of Wisconsin Department of Commerce partner with the Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy (WAGE) to provide educational opportunities on timely international business issues.  In 2003 the International Trade Partnership was among eight initiatives honored at the 7th Annual Chancellor's University-Community Partnerships Recognition Reception for providing unique services that benefit local residents in the spirit of the Wisconsin Idea.
