New Consultants to Start in 2026

After going through a competitive RFP process, SUSTA identified consultants to support our strategies in the Middle East, Japan and Southeast Asia. The new consultants will help manage SUSTA events targeting these regions as well as providing trade servicing. In a nut shell, you now have someone in-country that can answer your specific questions and help guide your export efforts.
