Trade Missions
Since 2016, NNRDA has participated in hosting multiple INBOUND trade missions to Northeastern Nevada. The missions not only foster trade relations between Nevada and the participating companies, they provide a two-fold element of opportunity for the region. First, participating companies are provided the opportunity to gauge the local market demand for their product, meet local officials and existing business that may compliment their operations, and analyze sites that may be suitable for their next expansion/relocation. Second, for those local Nevada companies who are considering doing business on a global scale, trade missions allow them to speak one on one with government officials who can provide insights to import regulations governing their home country. If you have not participated in a Trade Mission event, we encourage you to come out and join us when hosting one of these groups. We will post details regarding upcoming Trade Missions and events as they are planned.
Further, if your company would like to participate in an OUTBOUND Trade Mission, The Governor’s Office of Economic Development will often times provide funding to offset your cost of participation. NNRDA will post details and information regarding these outgoing Trade Missions as they become available.
Launch Rural Nevada
Launch Rural Nevada is an annual event tailored for startups and small business owners in rural Nevada, offering mentorship, access to capital, and connections with entrepreneurial support organizations. The competition comprises two categories: a Youth Division for junior and senior high school students (grades 8-12) from Northeastern Nevada school districts, and an Adult Division for participants aged 18 and older residing in the region. Various partners collaborate to connect rural entrepreneurs with business startup resources, fostering a statewide ecosystem that supports successful small business development across Nevada.
