Supporting the export capabilities of Wisconsin businesses
Companies that want to grow know they need to export—but navigating the global marketplace requires specialized knowledge and a sound strategy based upon proven best practices. WEDC stands ready to help you gain the insights you need to tap new international markets.
How It Works
Wisconsin companies can be reimbursed for specific expenses associated with a short-term export development project that will help to grow their presence in an international market. This grant program is tiered to provide a base amount of support (up to $10,000 per application, limited to three total grants per company), with a higher level of support (up to $30,000 per application, limited to six total grants per company) available for companies that have completed ExporTech™.
Eligibility Requirements
- Be an established business, registered and operational in Wisconsin for at least one year.
- Have substantial export-related operations located within the state that provide economic benefit to Wisconsin.
- Manufacture, process, assemble and/or distribute a product or perform a service with the potential to be exported.
- Self-certify that at least 35% of the value of the product or service is composed of Wisconsin cost inputs. An Excel spreadsheet can be provided upon request to assist you with these calculations.
- Have gross revenue of less than $100 million for the most recent complete fiscal year.
