Wyoming State Trade Expansion Program (STEP)

The State of Wyoming has State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) Grant funds for international marketing events occurring through September 29, 2024. STEP is funded in part through a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and is administered by the Wyoming Business Council (WBC). The goals of STEP are to increase the number of small businesses that export, increase the value of exports, and increase the number of small businesses exploring significant new trade opportunities. Participants must meet SBA eligibility requirements and be based in Wyoming to participate in STEP-funded programs. Reimbursable awards are for 75% of eligible expenses, not to exceed $5,000. The maximum number of awards per grant period for any Eligible Small Business Concern (ESBC) is two awards.
