Enroll by 1/31: Export Business Accelerator

January 22, 2025

Regional Partners:

We have a few more weeks to raise awareness amongst our small and medium-sized businesses about the amazing benefits of participating in the Greater Seattle Export Accelerator (GSEA).

GSEA is a fully sponsored, complimentary program open to King, Pierce and Snohomish County businesses to provide advanced export training, export advising, and access to new international markets. Led by an expert export adviser, the 6-week program is held both in-person and online, and collaborates with community, state, and federal trade organizations to give you the resources you need to increase profits and diversify risk. Applications for the next Cohort are due January 31, 2025, and space is limited. For more information and to apply visit https://greater-seattle.com/exportaccelerator/. It only takes a few minutes.

We are currently advertising on Google and LinkedIn, sharing through our various marketing channels, as well as incentivizing previous Cohorts to refer their colleagues to make sure we cast as wide of a net as possible. But we need your help!

Here is a LinkedIn post from today we’d love for you to share and like: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/greater-seattle-partners_are-you-a-business-in-the-greater-seattle-activity-7282508164049051648-Mzdq

Additionally, you can download a full media kit here to include in enewsletters, blog posts, articles and more. If your team is actively engaged in promoting Cohort 3, please share your activities and make sure to tag us so we can help amplify.  

Kind regards,

Vaughn Taylor
