The NDTO aims to celebrate companies from ND that have excelled in the global business in the previous year. While we understand the modesty inherent in our Midwest culture, this is an opportunity to either commend or be commended for your contributions to international business – recognizing the dedication and hard work it entails.
Whether you played a crucial role in supporting companies on their path to international success, actively engaged in selling and leaving a mark in overseas markets, or embarked on your maiden global venture in 2023, we want to hear your story! Our state, characterized by pride and ingenuity, often remains reserved, but there are countless untold stories waiting to be shared.
As the NDTO, our commitment is to assist your business in its growth journey, and sometimes, that involves gaining recognition among new or international audiences. Awards and accolades can serve as a powerful tool to showcase your achievements and inspire potential partnerships.
Take a few moments to share your international success stories from 2023 with us. Who knows? You might emerge as the recipient of one of the prestigious ND Global Business Award. Use the links below to nominate/recognize a company with export success in 2023, a colleague who selflessly promotes ND exporters, or a high-quality export service provider. The awards will be presented at the 2023 GBC on May 15 2024, in West Fargo ND.
