Who We Are

The Division of International Trade is part of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), a state authority created to promote economic expansion within the Commonwealth of Virginia.  A private sector twenty-one-member Board of Directors, appointed by the Governor, oversees all functions of the Partnership. Our goals in the VEDP's Division of International Trade are to increase the number of Virginia companies exporting and the volume of Virginia's exports.

Who We Help

We help Virginia companies sell Virginia's manufactured goods and services to the billions of people outside the United States. We work with small and large companies, both public and private from all types of industries. We help both new exporters and experienced exporters enter new markets. We do this by helping companies identify potential new markets, develop market entry strategies and locate possible distributors and representatives for your products, all at little to no cost. Virginia businesses like yours, interested in pursuing foreign sales opportunities benefit from our export counseling services, publications, resources, special market research and export development programs, such as VALET and AIM. For more information on how you can increase international sales, contact our Client Services Manager, Terri L. Noll, at (804) 545-5764 or via e-mail.
