New Opportunity for Export Development - U.S. Department of State's Direct Line

The U.S. Department of State's Direct Line program lets U.S. businesses hear directly from the nation's Ambassadors and economic and commercial experts at over 260 Embassies and Consulates in over 190 countries. Its staff is trained to identify promising market sectors and to help U.S. exporters capitalize on new opportunities.

With 96 percent of global consumers living outside the United States, exports are a great way to increase jobs and income here at home. Successful exporting requires accurate and up-to-the minute information on opportunities and market conditions abroad. The Direct Line program provides a unique opportunity for American businesses, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises, to engage directly via webcast with U.S. Ambassadors overseas.
