Winter 2022 ExporTech Program

Conducted online, during six-morning workshops and individualized coaching sessions over a 13-week period, ExporTech™ accelerates a company’s export strategic planning process into a concise timeframe. Michigan manufacturing and technology executives are invited to apply. A maximum of eight companies will be selected, providing your executive team with a unique learning environment. Products/services must be 51% U.S. content.

ExporTech™ program highlights:

• Developed by the U.S. Commercial Service and the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Manufacturing Extension Partnership to help experienced exporters accelerate their strategic global sales growth
• Each company will be assigned a pair of coaches to navigate the strategic export sales process
• Companies will be matched with a team of GVSU business students to assist with international market research
• Connect to a wide range of local and national export resources
• Peer group model: drives accountability, action, learning, networking
• Grant money is available from Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to qualifying companies to cover 75% of fee, lowering the out-of-pocket cost to $300 (or to $250 with early registration)
