Implementing the National Export Initiative

The One-Stop Export Promotion Shop

On March 11, 2010, President Obama launched a National Export Initiative. He has asked the Small Business Development Centers throughout the nation to partner with the US Department of Commerce, EX-IM Bank, and the US Department of Agriculture to educate our small businesses and double the amount of US exports.

The SBDC at USF has an established Export Ready program, which consists of extensive seminars and focused consulting.  We have two Certified Global Business Professionals on staff to assist business owners expand their domestic businesses to include foreign markets.  We teach seminars at three levels:

• The International Trade Basics workshop geared toward the domestic business owner who is interested in learning about the potentials of exporting – see the Training Calendar for classes.
• The Florida Export Series consists of three seminars which give entrepreneurs a more in-depth look at how to expand their businesses through the sale of goods and services abroad.
• The International Trade Certificate Program; a 7-week series that exposes business owners to local resources in our community, enabling them to enter new markets.

Every business should be looking at alternative markets for their products and services in today?s environment.  The SBDC at USF can partner with you to make that a reality.
