Trade Events | Department of Economic Development

International trade shows, trade missions, and state sponsored sales trips provide Missouri businesses opportunities to showcase their products and develop relationships with potential customers. You will benefit from the expertise of our trade consultants who will help you select the right events to attend and prepare you to get good results.

Missouri’s State Trade and Export Promotion Program and Global Market Access Program can provide reimbursement to qualified businesses for a portion of the costs associated with these events.
