Maine’s leading source for international business assistance
We help Maine companies get the guidance, education, and funding to succeed in global markets and fuel Maine’s economic growth.
2025 Annual Report
In a year marked by both unprecedented challenges and resilience in global trade, two major themes emerged: international trade continued in 2025 – it just looked different – and we’re all in this together.
Uncertainty in trade policy and rising costs created serious headwinds for Maine exporters. Throughout the year, MITC worked alongside businesses from across the state to navigate the changes, providing one-on-one assistance and referrals, as well as hosting educational programs and B2B matchmaking events that fostered new opportunities despite the turbulence.
In 2025, MITC:
- Assisted 283 Maine business and organizations in all 16 counties
- Stewarded $134,028 in grant funds to benefit 33 Maine small businesses
- Facilitated $4.9 million in export sales
Our team also played key roles in new collaborations with exciting potential to strengthen Maine’s economy through innovation, investment, and sharing of best practices on several fronts.
