From Land, Sea, and Air to Exporting – Women-Owned Business on the Go!
March 23rd, 2022 @ 1 PM EST

With the growing trend of globalization and the Internet, women-owned businesses have seen a rise in international trade and can reach a wider audience than ever before. Women own close to 10 million of the world’s small and medium-sized enterprises, which account for almost 80% of jobs around the world, therefore, expanding their market access can spur economic growth for all - especially as the world recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.

That’s where EXIM comes in. EXIM’s MWOB Division works closely with organizations that have a minority trade focus, to help spread the word about EXIM financing and create opportunities for export-ready U.S. businesses.

This event will provide business owners an opportunity to learn about EXIM financing products and services as well as other resources that are available for women-owned businesses. You will hear from experts within EXIM and other partnering organizations, such as the U.S. Commercial Service and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), WEConnect, Organization of Women in Interantional Trade (OWIT) to engage in discussions focusing on strategies for successfully exporting goods and services in uncertain or volatile conditions. Event participants will have an opportunity to:

• Discover a variety of private and public sector export tools for women-owned businesses.
• Learn about EXIM’s export credit insurance and working capital loan guarantees.
• Network with other attendees and participate in a live Q&A session.
