"The Export Development Grant Program is made possible by JPMorgan Chase, which has pledged $200,000 to the effort.

Both new and experienced small- and medium-sized exporters are eligible for the grants, which are to assist with entering new markets by accessing resources, overcoming obstacles and seizing on international opportunities. The grants are provided as matching fund of up to $5,000 per company. The program will accept about 20 companies in the first year".

What a laughable amount to be giving as grants. That may pay for a couple round trip tickets to Europe. Really just sounds like a $200,000 marketing investment for JP Morgan. Give that amount to 1 or 2 companies and maybe it would have actually done something. Not saying I won't take a free $5,000 but touting it as something beyond that is misleading.
