Take advantage of international markets

With 14 deep water seaports and 19 commercial service airports, Florida ranks sixth in the nation in total state-origin exports, and third in the nation in “high tech” exports. Exports increasing more than $1 trillion in 2012, means increased market share for your business.

Our international trade consultants, who are also NASBITE, International Certified Global Business Professionals (CGBP) can assist qualified Florida “new-to-export” manufacturers and services providers to identify overseas growth strategies through the development of a customized Export Marketing Plan.
