Build it Here, Export Everywhere


Posted on March 12, 2012 by Aimee Dobrzeniecki

The National Export Initiative (NEI) is a multi-year effort to increase U.S. jobs by increasing the number of companies exporting and by expanding the number of international markets where U.S. sell their products and services. The federal government’s trade promotion and export finance agencies are partnering with large and small businesses to double U.S. exports by 2014. By the end of 2011, the U.S. had increased exports by 16% putting us on a path to achieve our goal. In December 2011, Commerce Secretary John Bryson reinforced the focus on increasing exports in his speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce where he included increasing exports as one of three top priorities in our efforts to “Build it Here, Sell it Everywhere.”
