The International Trade Team provides Georgia companies with know-how, key in-country contacts, and international opportunities. We leverage the state’s 10 international offices located in Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Germany (EU), Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico and the U.K & Ireland, to provide export promotion through various services including:
Global Insight – services designed to provide knowledge to companies including the "how-to’s" of exporting and industry-specific and country specific data. Programs include research, education, consultations, in-country market assessment and partner resources.
Global Connections – services designed to match Georgia suppliers with international buyers/representatives. Programs include trade shows/missions/incoming buying delegations, in-country matching, and a “Trade Opportunities Alert” notification.
GEORGIA'S G.R.O.W. STEP BY STEP PROGRAM
GDEcD is implementing a new program to increase Georgia’s small business exports. The Georgia Reaching Out Worldwide (G.R.O.W.) Step by Step program is funded in part through a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration’s State Trade and Export Promotion (STEP) Grant Program. The G.R.O.W. program runs through Sept. 29, 2012. This initiative provides new export services and reduced fees for existing export services. Qualified companies will also be able to participate in other trade promotion activities and will be eligible for added benefits such as discounted booth space at international trade shows, free Gold Keys and International Partner Search services, listing in a Georgia export directory, appointments with incoming buyer delegations and many other export promotion programs and services. Companies should register online at http://trade.georgia.org.
