$5,000 Export Voucher
Washington State’s STEP program can offer small businesses up to $5,000 reimbursement for qualifying export expenses, including attendance at international trade shows. Find out if your company qualifies for a voucher.
“We saw direct results from attending the MEDICA World Forum for Medicine in Germany. Without the assistance of Commerce and the financial support of the STEP Export Voucher, we wouldn’t have been able to attend MEDICA, wouldn’t have met our new distributors for Taiwan (who we met for the first time at MEDICA), and wouldn’t be able to bring our products to the children in these overseas hospitals who need them.”
