Strategic Partnership Program

ITA Strategic Partnerships Enhance the Global Competitiveness of U.S. Industry

The International Trade Administration (ITA) recognized the value of connecting cross-sector capabilities to bolster the global competitiveness of U.S. industry. ITA builds Strategic Partnerships to leverage trade associations, economic development organizations, chambers of commerce, educational institutions, and other for-profit and non-profit organizations to enhance the competitiveness of American companies in global trade.
