NEWS FROM THE MEDC INTERNATIONAL TRADE TEAM

International trade globe

Michigan companies are invited to the Export Resources Roundtable May 19, 2015 in Lansing

Sponsored by the Michigan Manufacturers Association

Are you missing the opportunity to expand your customer base to international markets? In the last six months, Michigan companies reported more than $136 million in new sales with state export assistance.

Export strategic planning is key when selecting and developing foreign markets for new and increased growth. Michigan businesses have so much at their fingertips and many don’t know what is available. Join us on May 19 to learn more. Some highlights of state and federal export resources that participants can expect to walk away with:

  • Leveraging State Foreign Offices around the globe
  • Export Marketing Grants (State Trade Export Program)
  • Participating in Foreign Delegations focused on Export Sales
  • Michigan’s International Trade Strategy Consultation
  • 60-Day Export Sales Acceleration Program (ExporTech)
  • Trade Finance, Market Research, Selling Partner Vetting, Technology Optimization

Putting it all in perspective: Are you ignoring Canada? It IS another country and its most populated area is closer to mid-Michigan than most of the U.S.!

Who should attend

Small to medium sized companies:

  • Exporters looking to increase ROI
  • Exporters seeking new foreign markets
  • Exporters “reacting” to foreign inquiries
  • Companies that are new to exporting
