Florida Target Sector Trade Show Grants

Florida offers grants to help companies grow their export sales through overseas international trade shows.

SelectFlorida offers reimbursable Target Sector Trade Show Grants to help Florida small to medium-sized companies generate or increase their export sales overseas. Expanding into international markets can be vital to the success of a company’s growth strategy and studies demonstrate that companies with a significant international portfolio grow faster, are more profitable, and less susceptible to domestic downturns.

To help your company increase export sales and enter new global markets, SelectFlorida provides event-specific grants on a reimbursable basis to eligible manufacturers and select professional services providers in target sectors. The grants can be used for trade shows on the SelectFlorida calendar of events, where SelectFlorida is organizing a Florida Pavilion, Florida Section, or has staff actively recruiting for and attending the event.

Find out where SelectFlorida is connecting exporters to some of the largest international trade shows in the world!

Please contact your local trade representative for more information and to receive the grant application.
