Export GA
Since its inception in 1999, ExportGA has helped over 120 companies sell in excess of $35 million all over the world.
ExportGA 2011 is an intensive four-month export-training program which allows export-ready companies to develop their skills through a series of six workshops on export methodology. 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. Additional one-on-one counseling will be provided by a team of trade experts from the Georgia Department of Economic Development, U.S. Department of Commerce, and the University of Georgia throughout the program. Each participating company is assigned an international business student from the University of Georgia to help them with their research.
