The Minnesota Trade Office (MTO) is pleased to offer Export by Design: Build a Plan for Growth, a concise, customized export strategy and market development program.
Why export or expand in global markets? Recent studies indicate that firms who export are driving the U.S. economic recovery with revenue growth up to 37 percent, compared to just 7 percent growth for non-exporters.
Why design a plan? A clearly established, objective-based action plan strategically identifies international market entry or expansion and what it takes to get there.
We'll work with you. MTO will work with you to identify market opportunities, assess market entry options, provide guidance on strategies to find international business partners, and more.
