Export Coffee Talk | STEP Grant Offerings, Insights, and Inspiration

Join us for our next Export Coffee Talk, “STEP Grant Offerings, Insights, and Inspiration” on September 10 from 10:00 to 11:15 am ET.

In this webinar, you will gain insights about North Carolina’s export-related grants that are offered through the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP). Service providers and prior grant recipients from North Carolina companies will walk through multiple STEP offerings and provide examples of how they have used the STEP grant to boost exports. The EDPNC’s International Trade team will also be available to answer questions.

Please note that this coffee talk will focus on explaining the grant offerings with the goal of helping you identify your strategic priorities for the upcoming year. Cheryl Mauro, the EDPNC’s STEP Grant Manager, will host a separate webinar to explain the criteria, rules, and application process associated with the anticipated STEP grant program (currently pending SBA issuance).
