Exports drive Washington state’s economy, accounting for over 30% of economic growth over the past decade and contributing to almost half of the new jobs created over the past 30 years. With a world-class transportation infrastructure and a network of foreign trade representatives around the world, companies in Washington are uniquely poised to take advantage of global opportunities for their goods and services. The Washington State Department of Commerce offers no-cost international trade assistance to Washington companies.

This service allows us, as a small software company to have an international group helping with introductions and scheduling business meetings for trade opportunities... Due to the support from the Department of Commerce, our company has been able to identify and is working on securing business that over three years can be multimillion dollar global programs.
