International Export Assistance

Business Oregon's Global Strategies team helps Oregon businesses access global markets to enhance Oregon's position in the global economy. In cooperation with state, local and federal partners, Business Oregon helps small- and medium-sized Oregon companies become exporters and helps existing exporters access new markets.

Business Oregon offers counseling, market research, evaluation of international partners and other services to help companies develop and expand their products and services in key overseas markets. The new STEP Program and existing Trade Promotion Program (OTPP) help Oregon companies access foreign markets and increase exports to existing markets.

In 2010 Oregon exported nearly $18 billion in goods and services which represents more than 10% of Oregon GDP that year. Business Oregon promotes exports because exporting companies create well-paying Oregon jobs, and globally competitive businesses will help keep Oregon's economy strong both today and tomorrow.
