Global Entrepreneurship Week is a yearly celebration of entrepreneurship around the world. In Oregon, entrepreneurs and small business owners make up the vast majority of businesses in our state!
Many Oregon businesses also participate in the global economy, with more than 5,000 small businesses exporting goods worth $4.8 billion, (source: SBA.gov).
If you are a small business owner who is thinking about expanding your products or services outside the U.S., the Oregon SBDC Network’s Global Trade Center can help you prepare.
