The NYS SBDC's International Business Development program has strategically positioned small- and medium-sized businesses to take maximum advantage of business and trade opportunities in the global marketplace. The NYS SBDC has nurtured major contacts and resources to create an unparalleled network within government and business circles in China at the local, regional and national levels. IBD has developed partnerships that reduce the level of risk associated with business and trade, and assisted export and -market expansion to the emerging Chinese marketplace. Direct assistance helps New York's small- and medium-sized businesses navigate a course to profitability and maximize trade and business opportunities in the global marketplace.
