For more than 5 decades, Meridian has convened leaders to collaborate on solutions to the social and economic challenges faced by their communities, corporations, and organizations. Many of these solutions are grounded in the expansion of business and trade. Through a Corporate Council comprised of more than 35 top multinational corporations, numerous economics-focused exchange programs and reverse trade missions, as well as signature forums such as the U.S.-France Leadership Dialogue, Global Business@Meridian Downtown, and the Global Dialogue Series, we provide leaders with the opportunity to engage on trade policy, entrepreneurship, consumer protection issues, global business trends, and other key topics. Participants in our business and trade projects are leaders in their field and represent global corporations, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and micro-entrepreneurs.
