Road Show:
Commerce’s Road Show program each April is designed to reach executives and owners
of North Carolina-based businesses considering entry into the export market, expansion
of their global presence and achievement of their international business objectives. North
Carolina’s Foreign Trade Representatives are on hand to work individually with interested
companies. There will also be a series of “Lunch and Learn” sessions, in order to increase
public awareness of the International Trade Division’s offerings and the different export
markets in which it operates. Over 250 companies statewide have participated in the
program each year
Each year the International Trade Division brings its export ready services to cities across
the state. Business executives have the opportunity to meet with our trade consultants
from North Carolina and our six foreign offices. In recent years there were over 130
one-on-one client meetings in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Winston Salem each year. In
addition, representatives from the Department of Agriculture, World Trade Center, US
Export Assistance Center, State Ports Authority, SBTDC, and the seven Regional Economic
Development Partnerships are available to assist you with your exporting needs.
