ITA Launches Portal for 'Green Technology' Exporters
The International Trade Administration launched an “Environmental Solutions Exporter Portal” Oct. 1 on its export.gov website. The portal is the first fruit of the U.S. Environmental Export Initiative, a cooperative effort between the ITA, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Trade Representative, and Department of Agriculture. “Our private sector partners have told us they need one place where they can go to find information on federal programs that support U.S. environmental exports,” said ITA Under Secretary Francisco Sanchez. “This Portal now provides that resource.”
