Global Business Development Trade Shows (OEDIT)

Every year, our Global Business Development division selects strategic trade shows to showcase Colorado’s many economic strengths that are aligned with the state’s advanced industries. The benefit of co-exhibiting at a trade show with OEDIT is that all booth costs and exhibitor fees are paid, and companies that participate receive a travel stipend to attend the show. These trade shows are funded by the Advanced Industries Export Grant, a Colorado state program intended to support small businesses seeking to develop their international presence and exports. This grant requires a 1:1 cash match, meaning for every dollar reimbursed your company must show one dollar of matching funds. For example, a $4,000 reimbursement requires $8,000 in total expenses.
