Kansas Department of Commerce

Learn how to join the global market place and expand Kansas exports when you attend the Northwest Regional Export Promotion meeting on Tuesday, March 10, 2015.

The meeting, which will be held from 9:00 a.m. to noon at The Robbins Center – Eagle Communications Hall at Fort Hays State University, 600 Park Street, is one of six export promotion meetings offered by Kansas Global Trade Services in partnership with the Kansas Department of Commerce.

The six meetings are part of the ExportNow Kansas Program aimed at local companies with export potential. The program will raise export awareness by connecting communities and companies to export assistance.

Why are these meetings important? Kansas has enjoyed some export success in the past few years, increasing exports by 26 percent between 2010 and 2013. But experts say that 83 percent of global GDP growth will occur outside the U.S. by 2018, and Kansas needs to claim a greater share.

Who would benefit from these meetings?
· Businesses who produce goods and services suitable for export
· Local elected and appointed officials
· Economic development officials
