Enterprise Florida Announces Partner Trade Event Grants

Enterprise Florida is pleased to announce a new program to help its trade and economic development partners expand their international trade activities and provide new opportunities for Florida exporters to tap into foreign markets.

The Partner Trade Event Grants program will be implemented through Florida’s network of economic development partners and trade organizations. Through these grants, EFI will provide financial and technical support for partner-led export sales missions and in-bound buying missions. The program is designed to encourage regional trade development initiatives and support the expansion of Florida-produced exports to high-potential markets worldwide. The ultimate goal of the grants is to help generate export sales for Florida manufacturers and service providers.

The grant Guidelines and Application are both attached. The program runs from September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010 or until all funds are expended. If you have any questions, please contact your local Enterprise Florida Trade Manager.
