International Trade Program – Nebraska Business Development Center (NBDC)

We work with small businesses who are keen on exploring global opportunities. We assist in identifying global markets and market entry strategies.

About

NBDC’s International Trade Program explores potential in the global market, identify pros and cons, and assess their economic feasibility.  In addition, small businesses are guided on next steps in the import or export process and advise on best use of time and resources. NBDC also works with other state agencies on partnerships and compliance.
