Trade Missions
Department of Commerce (DOC) Trade Missions offer a proven cost-effective tool for helping U.S. companies learn first-hand about global markets. DOC recruits U.S. companies whose goal is to export their products and services. These U.S. companies travel together as a delegation on a trade mission where they attend market briefings, participate in site visits and networking receptions, and have one-on-one business matchmaking appointments with pre-screened potential buyers, agents, distributors, and joint venture partners. Trade Missions offer access, clout and the prestige of being part of a U.S. government trade delegation. DOC Trade Missions gain the attention of local/national government representatives, business leaders and media in international markets. Trade Missions help U.S. companies open markets, leverage opportunities in strategic industries, and expand U.S. trade relationships with our traditional trading partners, as well as in promising emerging global markets.
Trade Missions are listed on this calendar when their official trade mission statements are approved for release to the public based on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Trade Mission Policy. A more comprehensive calendar of world-wide trade events supported by one or more U.S. government agencies to help U.S. companies export is available on Export.gov.
