Core Program Discussions lead by Jamie Lum of DBEDT:
Export Readiness Program (HiSTEP-ERP): Educational seminars, workshops, and training sessions designed to prepare businesses for global trade.
Go Global! (HiSTEP-GG): Formerly known as Hawaiʻi Pavilions, this helps companies sell overseas via digital platforms and major international trade and consumer shows (such as the Fancy Food Show, GULFOOD, Natural Products Expo West, and FOODEX Japan).
Company Assistance (HiSTEP-CA): Direct financial and technical assistance for eligible businesses:
- New to Export (NTE): Up to $5,000 for businesses with little or no export experience.
- Market Expansion (ME): Up to $15,000 for active exporters generating at least $200,000 in annual revenue.
