Hannover Messe is the world's largest Trade Fair with more than 225,000 visitors from all over the world. Over 6,500 exhibitors from 70 countries will be showcasing innovative solutions, cutting-edge technology, and more than 500 new product launches. New York companies wishing to exhibit at CeMAT, the world-leading trade fair for intralogistics and supply chain management that will be co-located with Hannover Messe, may also apply for this opportunity.

Application Deadlines and Details:

The deadline to apply for the Hannover Messe Trade Show is February 28, 2018. For eligible companies, Global NY’s STEP grant can reimburse a significant portion of exhibit, travel and accommodation expenses. You also will be eligible to apply for Global NY’s customized Export Marketing Assistance Service (EMAS) in Europe.

Global NY offers one-stop shopping to both local businesses that want to export globally – and to foreign businesses looking to invest in New York. One way we’re helping small businesses export their products and services is by connecting them to the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP). STEP funding is offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) through Empire State Development (ESD) and supports a variety of export activities, including participation in foreign trade shows like Hannover Messe.

Is Your Business Eligible?
To be eligible for a STEP grant, you must meet SBA’s business criteria. To find out more, contact Global NY directly to discuss the criteria and any questions you may have. Ineligible businesses include law firms, non-profit organizations, retailers and educational institutions. Companies that act as intermediaries for others or are recruiting foreign investment are also ineligible.
