ExportGA – For Established Georgia Businesses
Starting Date: August 26, 8:30 am – 1:00 pm
Venue: UGA Gwinnett Campus, 2530 Sever Road, Lawrenceville, GA 30043
Organizer: Small Business Development Center, University of Georgia
Since its inception in 1999, ExportGA has helped over 200 companies sell in excess of $40 million all over the world. The program has been nationally recognized for its quality and effectiveness by the North American Small Business International Trade Educators (NASBITE) and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
ExportGA is an intensive four-session, 16-hour export training program which allows export-ready companies to develop their skills. By utilizing these skills throughout the program, new international sales opportunities are identified.
Companies accepted into the program will become skilled at finding profitable export markets, developing distribution channels, understanding foreign and U.S. regulatory issues, pricing and costing company products, submitting international quotations, processing accounts receivable and recognizing legal and cultural considerations. Each participating company will have access to its own international business student from the University of Georgia to help it with research.
