News: American Express Helping Middle Market Companies Grow - Credit-Land.com

American Express has announced the rollout of American Express Grow Global, an initiative designed to help mid-sized companies move into exporting by giving them information on the ins and outs of getting started and connecting them with industry insiders.

Amex will be kicking off American Express Grow Global in June with two events in Chicago and Atlanta, each one offering panels and speeches, as well as a chance to meet with over 25 industry representatives. This program is a way to help businesses better understand the benefits of exporting and upping revenues.

“Exporting represents a $928 billion opportunity for U.S. mid-sized companies over the next 10 years, yet only 17% of middle market firms currently trade internationally,” said Susan Sobbott, president, Global Corporate Payments, American Express. “The Grow Global program is designed to help demystify the complexities of exporting, and help companies seize the opportunities available by tapping into markets outside the U.S.”
