Join us for a practical, information‑packed session exploring how the St. Louis regional export ecosystem supports service firms across sectors like software, architecture, engineering, consulting, healthcare, creative industries, and more. Our expert panel will walk through common challenges such as regulations, licensing, IP protection, and identifying reliable international partners, while highlighting the programs and support available to help you enter or expand in global markets. Note that most of these offerings are available to product exporters as well.
