Note that providing a unique forum to build U.S. – Eurasian partnerships, SABIT helps American organizations create new relationships and strengthen existing ties with Eurasian partners and customers from each of the former Soviet republics. Relationships founded on mutual trust are the most significant aspect of business in Eurasia. The linkages formed through SABIT serve as a basis for new business development and lead to tangible results. While SABIT training programs generate commercial results at home in the United States, the impact abroad is equally beneficial.
