How Can We Help Your Business Succeed Globally?
As countries and regions around the world rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic at different rates, international trade will be a key element of the economic recovery for Maine.
Eligible Maine companies may receive a maximum of five STEP Financial Assistance Awards per year totaling up to $20,000 per year in reimbursements for costs associated with activities in the following categories:
- International Business Development
