Building Export Expertise

There are many resources in Nebraska that can actively help small businesses on their export journey and increase their international sales. Each year, thousands of U.S. companies boost their bottom line and competitiveness by meeting world demand for innovative, quality, U.S. products and services. This program will focus on how U.S. firms can gain greater market access, fund development opportunities, get paid securely by international customers and ship goods efficiently.

Plan your company’s comprehensive international growth strategy with key resources about:

• Methods of payment and insurance
• Logistics and shipping
• Government business development programs, matchmaking services and grants
• New tools for rural exporters: due diligence, outsourced exporting, and market research
