Description
Are You Ready to Export?
Join us this week for an overview of the Washington Export Outreach Team (WEOT) and the resources and technical assistance available to you, the small business exporter.
Nearly 96% of consumers live outside the U.S., and two-thirds of the world’s purchasing power is in foreign countries. If you’re a small business owner, the Washington Export Outreach Team is ready to support your growth through international trade.
Established in 2013 following a national mandate to do more to support international trade, WEOT is a collaborative team of local, state, regional, and federal export assistance agencies who provide you the tools and resources you need to sell internationally.
WEOT Partners include:
- SBA Office of International Trade
