As an incentive, participants will have a chance for lunch with the governor.
“We have resources and financial assistance waiting for companies that want to take their business abroad,” said Global Delaware Director Andrea Tinianow. “Our local businesses can help by telling us which countries hold the most export potential for their products and services. We’ll use that information to seek additional funding and grow our calendar of events and activities.”
