- Export Basics
Companies of all sizes can benefit from exporting their products to markets outside of the United States. Selling to international markets opens your business to the 96% of the world’s consumers located in other countries. These new markets and customers also diversify your customer base and improve your company’s ability to weather changes and seasonal variability in the domestic market.
Trade + Export Services
STEP Fund
The Oklahoma STEP Fund makes matching-fund grants to assist small Oklahoma businesses with starting or growing their exports. Funds help small companies attend major international business events to gain new business-to-business relationships and expand sales to customers outside of the United States.
Trade Shows
The agency attends and hosts booths at trade shows to provide opportunities for Oklahoma exporters to meet international buyers, distributors or representatives.
