International Trade

The GLOBAL MARKET ACCESS PROGRAM (G-MAP) offers Missouri small businesses cost-sharing opportunities to fund international marketing activities that will help to increase their export sales. Eligible activities include: foreign trade shows, foreign trade missions, foreign market sales trips, subscription services of the US Department of Commerce and US Department of Agriculture, and international marketing media. All applications must be submitted during the application period (Oct. 1–Dec. 31) and approved by the Department of Economic Development prior to the execution of the proposed activity. Please be advised that not all applications will qualify or be approved for funding, due to limited funds available.
