This component allowed attendees to learn, from business practice, what it takes to compete in international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPanama has important advantages, but to take full advantage of them we need companies that are better informed, more connected and prepared to meet the requirements of demanding markets such as that of the United States. This forum seeks precisely to open that conversation and translate it into concrete opportunities,\u201d said De La Guardia Oteiza, President of AmCham Panam\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this initiative, AmCham Panam\u00e1 reaffirms its commitment to promoting trade, investment, competitiveness and the strengthening of the economic relationship between Panama and the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panama, July 23, 2026.
