Grow into International Business with Targeted Training

Embarking on the journey of international business can be a transformative decision for your company, and if you are contemplating this leap or have been testing the waters, ExporTech™ could be the chance to propel your company into a global success.

Why Export?

The global marketplace is teeming with growth opportunities that extend far beyond the borders of the United States. Astonishingly, 95% of the world’s consumers reside outside the US. By not engaging in exporting, you confine your business potential to a mere 5% of the global market. The advantages of exporting are profound, offering avenues for new market opportunities, diversifying sales, and statistically reducing the likelihood of business failure by 8.5%, as indicated by the US Commercial Service (USCS).

Why ExporTech™?

ExporTech™ is not your conventional export training. Crafted by the US Department of Commerce’s US Commercial Service (USCS) and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, this program is a powerhouse of ‘how-to’ strategies. It empowers small and medium-sized businesses to transition from planning stages to tangible, profitable, and measurable success. ImpactDakota, the North Dakota Trade Office, and the USCS office in Fargo have curated the ND program to offer a meaningful approach that speaks to our region.
