The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced that World Trade Center Utah (WTC Utah) will receive a $500,000 grant to support export growth among small businesses through SBA’s competitive State Trade Expansion Program. This year’s award to WTC Utah is a $200,000 increase over the amount awarded to it in 2018, which is the largest increase among all grantees nationwide.
“Congratulations to the World Trade Center for receiving a substantial increase in funding this year,” said Marla Trollan, district director for the SBA Utah District Office. “We are thrilled about the potential this will provide to Utah businesses to grow and expand globally. Utah continues to be a leader in supporting small-business exports and we are excited to work in collaboration with the WTC to continue this success,” she said.
