Exporting & MI-STEP | Lunch & Learn

Southwest Michigan First

Take your business to the next level—the international level. No matter the size of your organization, doing business on a global scale can seem daunting. Southwest Michigan First aims to change that.
In partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), Van Andel Global Trade Center and U.S. Commercial Services, join us on Thursday, March 5, for a lunch and learn on exporting and Michigan’s State Trade Expansion Program (MI-STEP). 
Whether you’re interested in expanding your current exporting efforts or developing a program from the ground-up, you will be equipped with the knowledge and know-how to achieve your goals. During our time together, experts will increase your awareness on exporting incentives, programs and available support to assist your organization in developing or expanding its international market exposure. Specific topics to be covered include:
<UL>
<LI>How to start an exporting program or increase market exposure of a current program</LI>
<LI>Understanding federal, state, and local resources available for exporting activities, international market research, and international matchmaking</LI>
<LI>Eligibility for a federal reimbursement of exporting-related costs</LI>
<LI>Other opportunities for state-funded support services related to exporting</LI>
</UL>
Expand your market and grow your profits through successful exporting practices. Get ready world: Here you come!
