With the growing trend of globalization and the Internet, women-owned businesses have seen a rise in international trade and can reach a wider audience than ever before. Women own close to 10 million of the world’s small and medium-sized enterprises, which account for almost 80% of jobs around the world, therefore, expanding their market access can spur economic growth for all - especially as the world recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.

That’s where EXIM comes in. EXIM’s MWOB Division works closely with organizations that have a minority trade focus, to help spread the word about EXIM financing and create opportunities for export-ready U.S. businesses.

This event will provide business owners an opportunity to learn about EXIM financing products and services as well as other resources that are available for women-owned businesses. You will hear from experts within EXIM and other partnering organizations – including the U.S. Commercial Service, the Minority Business Development Agency, WEConnect International, and the Organization of Women In Trade – to engage in discussions focusing on strategies for successfully exporting goods and services in uncertain or volatile conditions. Event participants will have an opportunity to:

• Discover a variety of private and public sector export tools for women-owned businesses.
• Learn about EXIM’s export credit insurance and working capital loan guarantees.
• Network with other attendees and participate in a live Q&A session.
