Since 1924, business people from Minnesota and neighboring states who share an interest in international business opportunities have joined together to exchange ideas, experiences and information through the programs and services offered by the Midwest Global Trade Association (MGTA). MGTA remains active and growing today, stimulated by new members and changes in the global market place.

MGTA is a nonprofit organization supported entirely by the efforts and contributions of its membership. The association draws on the talents and resources of international professionals and corporations throughout the region. Members include companies of all sizes and levels of international experiences, as well as individuals with a range of business interests and perspectives. Anyone interested in international trade is invited to become a member and share the experience.
