Washington, D.C. – Atlanta entrepreneurs will now have access to local resources that will help them increase export sales and boost job creation and growth. This assistance will come from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), which recently signed an agreement to partner with Invest Atlanta, Atlanta’s Development Authority as Atlanta becomes the most recent city to join the Bank’s City- State Partnership program.
Ex-Im Bank’s City-State Partners bring state, county, and local non-profit economic development entities together to expand export opportunities for American small- and mid-size exporters by offering advice on successfully selling in the international marketplace.
They provide a platform for local small business owners to stay up-to-date on Ex-Im Bank products and services and access trade finance specialists.
“This partnership with Invest Atlanta will support Georgia small businesses and help them gain access to overseas markets,” said Fred P. Hochberg (top left photo), chairman and president of Ex-Im Bank.
“With Ex-Im Bank export financing products and services, the Atlanta business community will be able to grow sales and create jobs through exports.”
“This relationship with the City-State Partnership Program will greatly benefit our businesses and the City of Atlanta’s economic development efforts,” said Brian P. McGowan (top right photo), president and CEO of Invest Atlanta.
“Atlanta is an international city conducting business around the world. Giving our businesses a more efficient path to overseas markets is a great way to ensure they have the opportunity to participate in the global marketplace.”
