"I have known Howard Greenfield of Go Associates for many years, and have come to rely upon his sage counsel and strategic advice in a number of areas of international trade and technology deployment. Howard is always current in his knowledge of technology markets and companies, especially in countries outside the United States. Because he consults with many companies as well as writes analysis of market situations for new technologies worldwide, I find his perspective most helpful, independent, and shrewd.

In recent months, Howard has been able to help me develop strategies with a number of major international companies whose interests intersect those of the American Film Institute. Thus, not only has Howard the specialized knowledge of the field, but the ability to understand my needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Go Associates as a vendor to provide strategic consulting and analytic services in the international technology marketplace."
