Nominate Your Company for an Export Award!

The New Jersey District Export Council (NJDEC) is proud to recognize excellence among New Jersey’s leading exporters at our third annual event!

The goal of the NJ International Trade Awards (NJITA) is to recognize and honor New Jersey companies that have worked diligently to expand their exporting efforts. They may have accomplished this by penetrating new markets or by increasing their presence in existing markets – or by embracing both growth strategies! By doing so they have contributed to the creation of new jobs while subsequently improving and enhancing the New Jersey economic landscape.

Award Categories

  • Exporter of the Year: Awarded to a New Jersey company that has grown its exports and made exporting a cornerstone of its business.
  • Service Exporter of the Year: Awarded to a New Jersey company that is successfully exporting services.
  • New Exporter of the Year: Awarded to a New Jersey company that has begun exporting products or services within the last two years.
  • Minority/Diverse Exporter of the Year: Awarded to a New Jersey company that is successfully exporting, whose owners or senior leaders and managers represent an underserved business community, which is defined as African American/Black, Asian American, Hispanic American, Native American, Veteran and Service-Disabled, Woman, or LGBTQI+.
