The Matchmarker Trade Delegation Program is designed to match small to medium-sized new-to-market or new-to-export U.S. firms with qualified business contacts abroad. Each mission targets major markets in two or three countries that have strong potential for U.S. goods and services. Matchmaker Trade Delegations send a small group of U.S. companies to a country or region to meet with prospective agents, distributors, and joint venture or licensing partners. Delegation members travel to each country and benefit from export counseling, interpreter service and logistic support, market research, in-depth market briefings, and personalized itinerary of business appointments screened by commercial specialists at U.S. Embassies and Consulates. Before the delegation's arrival, the Commercial Service analyzes the unique needs of each of the American companies and finds and pre-screens contacts. Commercial Service staff also attend to all of the event logistics.
