The National Center was among one of four centers awarded $2 Million, five-year grants to operate MBDA Export Centers. MBDA Export Centers provide technical assistance and business development to Minority Business Enterprises looking to enter the global business market.
The National Center-operated Arizona MBDA Export Center recently started its first program, a webinar series that is available free of charge and will feature updates and education on getting started exporting, opportunities for MBEs, and more. Catch up on the webinar series, here. Stay tuned here for announcements on upcoming webinars.
“For more 50 years, The National Center has helped Native-owned businesses and entrepreneurs achieve their business goals in Indian Country and across the United States,” said National Center CEO and President Chris James. “As operator of the Arizona MBDA Export Center, we have a unique opportunity to expand that mission and help Native-owned and other MBEs conduct business beyond our nation’s borders. I’m also thrilled to know that we are one of four MBDA designated Export Centers nationwide, and the first Native American non-profit to earn such a designation. I hope to see you at the Open House on April 14 to celebrate this new endeavor and to learn more about how the Arizona MBDA Export Center can help you and your business.”
