Virginia is for Business Lovers

In October, Lingo Rocket had an honor to attend The 70th Virginia Conference on World Trade. During the conference, speakers like Erik Miller (VP of Foreign Exchange Services, Wells Fargo), Barry DuVal (President & CEO VA Chamber of Commerce), John Reinhart (CEO, Port of Virginia), Marguerite Bates-Frier (Intermodal/Regional VP, XPO Logistics), Bob McDonnell (71st VA Governor), and Terry McAuliffe (72nd VA Governor) elaborated on why Virginia is the state for promoting global business and export/import relationships.
Looking into Virginia’s business portfolio you would find Facebook, CarMax, Mars, Nestle, and Cannon among other companies that have operations or headquarters in the state. The companies are drawn to Virginia’s successful business climate thanks to top-notch talent, taxes, infrastructure, geographic location, and quality of life.
Virginia plans to focus on tourism, transportation, and manufacturing, including wine and craft beer production, to strengthen and promote the state’s national and global business development. Travelers would easily fall in love with Virginia’s historic sites, coastal getaways, and world-class breweries and wineries. As for manufacturing and transportation, Virginia-based companies can benefit from great shipping facilities of The Port of Virginia, fourteen commercial airports, two international airports, and highly ranked business climate.
Considering the above information, Virginia offers many opportunities for foreign language instructors, interpreters, translators, and cross-cultural professionals. Language and inter-cultural professionals can use their skills and professional background in global logistics, export/import industries, cyber security, and tourism sectors. We can easily say - Virginia is for business lovers!
