Join us for breakfast, networking & a brief presentation on the July Trade Mission to Israel and how LED STEP grants can help you get there!

This informational beakfast will provide insight on Jewish Federation New Orleans’ trade mission to Israel this July — with a particular focus on the Medicine, Biotechnology & Healthcare track. Jessica Steverson will discuss Louisiana Economic Development (LED)’s State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) Grant for Export Promotion. Kris Khalil will discuss a special offer for NOBIC clientelle to recieve additional support of their participation.

By expanding its traditional cultural exchange mission to include the introduction of new potential business relationships in targeted industries, the 2022 Federation Mission will give participants a dynamic experience that presents them with new potential business relationships in each of the targeted industries and introduces them to the beauty and opportunity of Israel. The STEP Grant program is designed to help Louisiana small businesses generate new export revenue and create or retain jobs resulting from sales to foreign markets — making the mission an ideal activity this grant seeks to support.
