Most commonly known as the state agency for economic development, the Alabama Department of Commerce has one mission – to create jobs in Alabama. Led by Secretary of Commerce Greg Canfield, the Alabama Department of Commerce works with economic development professionals and organizations, chambers of commerce and companies throughout the state.
The International Trade Division assists Alabama businesses with export promotion and development. Alabama manages international business through a variety of touchpoints: professional development, first-class trade missions, distribution of qualified point-to-point international leads, and excellent trade publications.
Alabama’s team approach to economic development is evident in the state’s international trade efforts – the Export Alabama Alliance (EAA) is a seamless network of international trade organizations that share the fundamental objective of helping Alabama companies to grow their business internationally. This strong alliance of local, state and federal organizations works together to develop and coordinate programs to facilitate the export of Alabama’s goods and services overseas.
