The Central New York International Business Alliance was formed in 2002 to enhance sales of business in the 12 County* Center State, New York region. Our commitment is to demystify exports, help regional businesses successfully construct their export roadmap, and move regional innovations abroad. The CNYIBA can connect you with manufacturers and service industry leaders, professionals and programs to ease your export experience. Make us your resource for advancing trade, global fluency, and wealth. CNYIBA works to help regional export by connecting new to export companies with experienced export mentors, providing experienced guidance and counseling to companies looking to expand international sales, encouraging the exchange of ideas among its members, and collecting, organizing and providing its members information regarding international trade, financing, marketing and other essential information to support their international business. We manage the International Business Alliance Group account on LinkedIn to provide an export communication platform for people who are interested in export. CNYIBA partnered with the Brookings Institution and launched the CenterState Metropolitan Export Plan in 2011 to call for the doubling of the region’s exports through targeted investment.
