"These companies are putting in the time, effort, and dedication to realize the benefits of trade, and 88% of this year's recipients recently utilized the resources our team provides. These resources include anything from market research to connecting with qualified customers, to Go Global Georgia export grants. We are proud of the tenacity of our small business community, and we look forward to what they can accomplish next."
