Expand Your Global Reach - Join us for two international trade missions in Fall 2026

Oklahoma companies are invited to explore new international markets, build strategic partnerships, and grow exports by participating in two upcoming trade missions led by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce.

Trade + Export Services

More than 95% of the world’s consumers are outside of the United States. Selling to international markets opens your opportunity to increased sales and job creation.

STEP Fund

The Oklahoma STEP Fund makes matching-fund grants to assist small Oklahoma businesses with starting or growing their exports.

Trade Shows

The agency attends and hosts booths at trade shows to provide opportunities for Oklahoma exporters to meet international buyers, distributors or representatives. By organizing trade missions and international trade shows, the Global Team reduces the cost to exhibit for Oklahoma companies and provides valuable business-to-business matchmaking opportunities.

Market Research

Our Global Team analyzes the exporting capabilities of individual Oklahoma companies to help them prepare to enter new markets or sell new products to known markets. We provide counseling on a variety of export issues, such as tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, financing, regulations, policies and standards, competitive factors, contracts and distribution practices.
