57 more companies chosen for JAMPRO’s Export Max

Fifty-seven companies have been chosen as part of the fourth cohort of JAMPRO’s Export Max programme.

The group, officially on-boarded recently, are to get assistance with accounting, management, productivity improvements, cross border selling and other tools, to help them enhance competitiveness and sustainability in new and existing markets.

JAMPRO President Shullette Cox said participants will have access to a range of opportunities that will help them access and exploit export markets. 

“Layering onto this, with the support of our partners and sponsors, are more targeted and specific benefits such as inclusion on the Dun & Bradstreet Due Diligence platform to better assess whether or not you’re doing business with the right buyers in overseas markets, ahead of sending them your goods or your products, improved access to financing options through our partners at DBJ and the EximBank, assignments of at least two HEART apprentices to support your business endeavors,” she added.   

She said an assessment will also be done to determine the priority needs for each participant.

The Export Max programme was first launched in 2011.
