The Global Gateway export program is made possible through the Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) Grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Commerce. MDCP is the U.S. government’s most successful export assistance program. The awards help nonprofit organizations pursue innovative projects that address trade barriers, enhance industry competitiveness, and generate exports that create or sustain U.S. jobs.
The MDCP grant established a partnership between the International Trade Administration and nonprofit industry groups like trade associations and standard-developing organizations, to pursue innovative projects that address trade barriers, enhance industry competitiveness, and generate exports that create or sustain thousands of U.S. jobs. The average MDCP project generates nearly $100 million in exports.
