Each year MITC organizes a large State of Maine Trade Mission, usually with the Governor, as well as smaller (often industry-specific) missions. Trade missions are particularly useful for first time exporters or companies that have had difficulty expanding into a particular country or market. Trade Missions provide one-on-one meetings with potential foreign trade partners and unique networking opportunities. MITC arranges most details including transportation, translators and business meetings.
We invite you to consider participating in one of our upcoming trade missions.
