Montgomery County businesses looking to grow through partnerships with organizations overseas could be eligible for grants of up to $5,000 for qualified travel or marketing expenses through the Maryland Department of Commerce’s ExportMD program. Applications to receive grants must be submitted by Thursday, Sept. 7.
The grants would reimburse expenses for companies seeking customers, suppliers, manufacturers or academic partners to support the growth of their business.
Montgomery County is organizing a delegation of business, academic and government leaders traveling to Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengalaru, Saigon/HCMC and Hanoi in late October to November. Businesses interested in joining the delegation can apply for an ExportMD grant to support this travel.
ExportMD awards can reimburse expenses associated with an international marketing project. Traditionally, many companies have used grants to offset travel expenses related to international marketing. In addition, the funds can be applied for marketing initiatives ranging from website development to registration costs for virtual trade shows and missions.
