New Enterprise Florida pilot program provides trade grants to help Florida companies
increase export sales through international product registrations and markings
Enterprise Florida launched the International Registration Grants program to help small to medium-sized manufacturers offset the costs of obtaining international product registrations, certifications or markings that may be required to do business overseas. If the cost of compliance with standards in global markets is keeping your company from expanding overseas, then please contact us for further information about how this grant may be able to help your company. Qualified applicants will be reimbursed 50% of the international registration/certification application fee, up to a maximum of $10,000.
