GLOBAL NY FUND TOUR TO PROMOTE EXPORT ASSISTANCE FUNDING

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced the launch of the Global NY Fund Tour – a series of informational sessions being held in each of New York State’s ten economic development regions to inform small- and medium-sized businesses and non-profits about new resources available to support international export efforts.

Empire State Development (ESD) is working in partnership with lenders to extend financing to New York State companies seeking to create or expand direct exports, or to serve as suppliers to larger exporters.

ESD is also providing grants of up to $25,000 to help companies start exporting or increase their global exports.
