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).

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.
