UGA SBDC International Trade Center Offers ExportGA 2023 Program

The University of Georgia Small Business Development Center International Trade Center is hosting a flagship program called ExportGA 2023. This four-session program, starting August 18, is designed to provide training in virtually all aspects of exporting. It is designed for companies currently exporting or those established companies who are looking to export for the first time. For those current exporters, it is a great opportunity to train personnel and shore up the fundamentals of exporting. For those new-to-export companies it is a great launching pad for foreign sales. Topics covered are detailed below.

Each session is taught by private sector professionals or trade service providers. Each selected company will be paired with a UGA Terry College of Business intern to provide research between sessions.  Additionally, each company will be working with a trade consultant from the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Department of Commerce and the UGA SDBC International Trade Center. Together the company will have a proactive export plan at the end of the program.

The cost of the program is $650 per company. With this one basic fee, your company can invite 2-3 individuals for each session (see below). There is a grant called Go Global Georgia to get partial reimbursement of the tuition available through the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDECD).
