We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together as we navigated the unanticipated challenges of the past few years.”

NASBITE International created these awards, along with the National Small Business Exporter Summit, as a way to bring together top small business exporters, trade professionals and trade assistance providers from across the country to connect with one another and to share best practices and lessons learned. Companies are nominated as honorees for the National Small Business Exporter Summit by leading trade assistance organizations and associations from across the country. These companies have demonstrated export growth and an innovative approach to international marketing as part of their core business operations.
