Global Trade Missions

Helping businesses explore new markets The Global Trade Mission Program provides Wisconsin businesses with access to expertise in target markets to realize export opportunities and to accelerate their export sales. The program supports Wisconsin’s business growth by increasing collaboration between businesses within key industries and target countries. How it works WEDC’s market development directors lead Wisconsin businesses on virtual or in-country trade missions, providing each participating business a suite of in-market services that are executed by one of WEDC’s network of contracted authorized trade representatives. The services of the Commercial Service and/or other independent contractors may be required to execute services for a trade mission. Program funds will help support the cost of country-specific business services to eligible Wisconsin businesses by offsetting the cost of the mission. Eligibility criteria Global Trade Mission participation at a subsidized cost is offered for Wisconsin exporters (or potential exporters) of goods and services. Participating companies must have export-related operations located in Wisconsin but do not need to be headquartered in Wisconsin. Companies finding success with exporting.
