VIP INTERNATIONAL can unlock a world of procurement opportunities. This program is designed exclusively for Veteran-owned small businesses who desire to pursue federal and commercial contracts abroad. VIP INTERNATIONAL training will guide you in how to win in the OCONUS space and provide insights into execution and maintaining long-term success.
With more than 70% of the world's purchasing power lying beyond the continental United States, the VIP INTERNATIONAL Program was designed to help Veteran-owned small businesses take their business into the lucrative international market, where VIP Grads use what they learn to pursue both federal and commercial contracting opportunities.
In a newly formed partnership with the International Trade Administration (ITA), we are focused on improving the global competitiveness of Veteran entrepreneurs pursuing international trade and commerce.
