DBEDT is very pleased to announce the formal launch of the 2017 Hawaii State Trade Expansion Program, also known as HiSTEP. Building on the success of 2016, we are launching the 2017 program with the same three key components, but with added improvements:
1. Export Readiness Program – in addition to group export training sessions, we have added 1-on-1 mentoring
2. Company Assistance – financial award amounts have been increased to $15,000
3. Hawaii Pavilions – support at major trade shows that attract international buyers
