What Our ExporTech Alums Say "ExporTech is a great opportunity to access knowledgeable experts, and especially for smaller companies it provides an excellent structure for developing a plan and staying on task during the process. It's easy to focus on the urgent rather than the important. The process, coaching, and cadence of the program really helped us get this done. This has been a great experience, and the process really helped with both our domestic and international marketing plans." – Ed Gervais, President, Cascon Inc. (Yarmouth, ME) "I am so glad I participated in the ExporTech program. The resources, coaches, and market research were extremely helpful, and it would have been difficult to develop an organized export business plan on my own. The coaching sessions with other executives with export experience were particularly valuable. Big thank you to everyone for their support!" – Abby Robey, VP Sales & Marketing and Co-owner, Xuron Corp.
