Empowering Delaware Businesses to Succeed Globally

 

Your Partner for Global Business Success

As the official export resource for Delaware’s small businesses, Export Delaware is dedicated to helping Delaware businesses expand into international markets. If you are a new exporter, or want to explore new markets, we can help you get started. Through personalized guidance, expert resources, and valuable connections, we make exporting accessible and achievable for companies of all sizes – even small businesses! Some of the most successful exporters are innovative small- and medium-sized businesses (which account for 98 percent of U.S. exporters). Businesses that export have faster-growing sales, create more jobs, and are less likely to go out of business than non-exporting establishments.

Since our founding, we’ve supported hundreds of Delaware companies in navigating the complexities of international trade, building relationships with global buyers, and growing their businesses beyond borders.

Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve accomplished since then:
