Businesses in the New Bedford area that are interested in expanding into developing markets overseas have the opportunity to take advantage of export assistance through a partnership between The One SouthCoast Chamber of Commerce and the Massachusetts Export Center, part of the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center Network.
The Massachusetts Export Center, the state’s leading provider of export development services, operates a satellite office at The One SouthCoast Chamber of Commerce.
