Government Resources to Grow Your International Sales in Tennessee
Please join the Export-Import Bank of the United States and our partners - the Tennessee Small Business Development Center, Tennessee Export Initiative (TEI), U.S. Commercial Service, and U.S. Small Business Administration - for a summary of global trade finance tools and government resources your company can use to facilitate international sales, access working capital, extend credit to buyers, and obtain risk protection.
The Tennessee Export Initiative (TEI) at Belmont University will discuss the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP), a national export initiative which makes matching-fund awards to state entities to assist small businesses in entering and expanding into international markets.
This grant program is funded in part by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and through the efforts of the Tennessee District Export Council (TDEC), a non-profit organization of international business executives that supports and promotes export opportunities for Tennessee companies and serves as a communication link between the business community and the U.S. Commercial Service.
