In order to further assist and provide Wisconsin manufacturers with hands-on export development, the WEDC and WMEP are continuing to partner and provide ExporTech™ strategy development to qualified Wisconsin companies seeking a more proactive approach to export markets. The ExporTech™ program is a proven export strategy development program designed to speed a companies ‘go to market’ timeline by developing a customized international growth plan for the company’s product in key markets.
For today’s manufacturers, opportunities for business growth and expansion increasingly are found in markets outside of the United States. Over the coming decade, markets in Asia, Canada, Mexico, Central Europe and South America are projected to outpace domestic growth. Roughly three quarters of world purchasing power and almost 95% of world consumers are outside America’s borders. In this new demographic and economic landscape, a global strategy for growth is essential.
