State partner opens up new markets, export expertise for local businesses

Building a stronger economy takes many hands. That’s why the Business Development Board of Martin County surrounds itself with so many highly dedicated and capable leaders and affiliate organizations. We’re especially excited about an essential partner of ours at the state level.

The BDDMC serves as the primary local economic development partner for SelectFlorida—the Sunshine State’s official international commerce organization.

The relationship takes shape in multiple forms.

With its ongoing promotion of Florida as an attractive destination for business, SelectFlorida’s keeps the state top of mind among leading executives looking to expand and invest.

Drilling down, SelectFlorida vastly broadens the reach of the BDBMC by brokering international partnerships, giving our business community reliable connections with counterparts around the world as well as guided access to new markets.

The agency also teams with the BDBMC to assist local businesses with detailed insights on how to effectively export their products, maximize trade show involvement and develop key contacts overseas.

“Economic development is a team sport,” says William Corbin, executive director of the BDBMC. “We’re fortunate to have the sizeable resources and expertise of SelectFlorida to call upon as we work to assist existing and expanding businesses in their pursuit of stronger market positions.

“With so many of our local industries and employers competing in a global market,” he adds, “the impressive expertise and resources of SelectFlorida are vital to helping them gain a competitive edge.”
