Global Delaware has announced a 2017 business trip to Germany, Austria and Switzerland from Feb. 27-March 3.
All six companies that took a business trip to Germany earlier in the fall returned with new distributors in Europe, RFP’s from potential customers and new high-level contacts and leads, a release stated.
Business trips with Global Delaware offer an opportunity to meet face-to-face with distributors and potential.
Delaware’s trade representative Alexander Bothmann, will arrange business meetings with distributors, agents and customers. He will prep tour participants on the companies and share best practices in doing business in Europe.
The services provided by the state are valued at $6,500 per company.
Travel expenses may even be covered by the STEP Grant, a program by the SBA that will reimburse up to 50 percent of all pre-approved, eligible, export marketing expenses up to a maximum of $5,000.
