Connect to Exporting Resources
There are so many ways to stay on top of the latest trends, initiatives and best practices around taking your company global.
Trade Shows
Throughout the year the Center for Trade Development exhibits at key industry trade shows. Booth space is offered to Pennsylvania businesses at a fraction of the cost, enabling even the smallest companies the opportunity to network with prospective business partners in overseas markets.
Trade Mission
The Center for Trade Development leads numerous Pennsylvania business delegations to select worldwide markets each year. We take companies to the market for one-on-one meetings with prospective partners, pre-qualified by overseas trade representatives.
Education & Training
We can help you gain the knowledge you need to thrive in the growing global economy and help provide
training on the entire process. Workshops and export training programs customized for technology
businesses are all designed to help your company compete effectively anywhere around the globe.
