Civic 180 is proud to announce its partnership with the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce to expand the International Business Accelerator (IBA) program to the Silicon Beach and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) area. This dynamic region in west LA is home t0 hundreds of small manufacturers and more than 500 tech startups. The IBA uses proven business acceleration techniques with those kinds of existing small businesses and start-up companies to successfully launch into global markets.
