Metro Chicago Exports is “an unprecedented collaboration between the seven counties in Northeastern Illinois (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will) and the City of Chicago to increase exports from small and medium-sized companies and to support regional job growth.” This program offers grants and resources to companies in Northeastern Illinois to export their goods and services.
Before exporting, consider whether your company is ready to export:
If you have considered these questions and are ready to export, apply to the Metro Chicago Exports program before May 26th!
However, if you feel like you are not quite ready to export, or want to learn more, feel free to fill out our free self-assessment. This extensive assessment is designed specifically to help companies evaluate, internally, the readiness of your company to do business abroad.

It’s that time of year again – South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1986, SXSW was primarily intended to be a venue to showcase new, local music – as well as forward-looking technologies and ideas. We know of five Hungarian companies visiting SXSW this year, and we’re excited to see what they do in the U.S! You can find them on Sunday March 12th, in the Startup section – booths #1725, #1727, and #1729.

We had an opportunity to visit Leopoly’s offices in Budapest last month, and we were not disappointed:
Leopoly has created a 3D design software that makes product and object design accessible to a much wider audience. Our Marketing Associate Noah has no experience in product design, and he was comfortable in shaping several different types of objects using Leopoly’s system. We used their virtual reality system, but Leopoly also offers a computer software that only requires a mouse.
