Course Description:
Foreign Direct Investment plays a key role in ensuring that Florida remains globally competitive. With South Florida acting as an international trade hub and logistics gateway, these links have made it a global investment destination. Florida has further enabled this environment through low-cost, and pro-business regulatory / tax conditions
With these strong economic development strategies, particularly as South Florida attracts investments in logistics, infrastructure, biotech, advanced manufacturing, and high-tech / data-rich industries, there must be an awareness of the national security investment review process (CFIUS).
In order to be awarded full CPE credit, you must respond to four of the five polling questions asked during the program.
