Genetics and Genomics Trade Mission hosted by U.S. Commercial Service
The USCS will offer a Genetics and Genomics Trade Mission to Greece, Turkey and Italy. The deadline to apply is January 31, 2025. This is a great opportunity for our NC companies to expand sales overseas.
EDPNC’s State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) Grant season is here. This grant can reimburse for the costs of this or other trade missions. Companies must qualify, and they must be early and plan in advance. Last year the funds were fully allocated before the end of October. For grant information, contact EDPNC International Trade Manager Melissa McGurk.
Some of the key grant criteria (but not all):
- Small Business according to SBA guidelines
- Export Ready – have commercialized product or service ready to sell overseas…with the financially ability to produce orders
- Minimum 51% US content requirement
- US-based company
- Other criteria can be covered with a company if you have one interested that meets these
