Automation Alley Trade Missions: Your Gateway to New, High-Growth Markets.

We organize international trade missions, connecting our members with global markets and facilitating business opportunities abroad. Through these missions, we aim to foster cross-border collaboration, explore new markets, and drive export growth.
