Commerce Launches Statewide Exporters Roundtable Series
TOPEKA – The International Division of the Kansas Department of Commerce today announced it will begin a monthly Kansas Exporters Roundtable series in July. With three-quarters of potential customers located outside of the United States, Commerce will visit 12 cities across the state and offer assistance for small- to medium-sized Kansas companies.
“When considering whether or not to start exporting, consider viewing it as essentially expanding your business’ storefront to the entire world,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “Exporting can bring a much wider customer base, which directly translates into increased sale numbers and profits.”
Hosted by the Kansas Commerce International Division, the Kansas Exporters Roundtable events are a collaboration with the U.S. Commercial Service and the Small Business Administration (SBA). Each partner entity will have a representative presenting on export topics such as:- How exporting can increase sales revenue
- Information on export financial assistance
- Export success stories or unique lessons
