Export Connect

Export Delaware is an office within the Delaware Department of State. We help Delaware-based businesses reach new markets overseas. The Delaware Department of State can help you get ready to export, introduce you to partners overseas and help you close the deal. Our experienced staff provides on-site guidance to businesses that are looking to explore export opportunities or to expand their current export activities to new markets. 
 
Some of the most successful exporters are innovative small- and medium-sized businesses (which account for 98 percent of U.S. exporters). Businesses that export have faster-growing sales, create more jobs and are less likely to go out of business than non-exporting establishments.
