2022 SEMA Nordic Business Program

2022 SEMA Nordic: Fees: $5,060 per company (this fee covers one participant and includes 4 nights hotel, table top display, meals and transportation to SEMA events within Sweden. U.S. government grant for qualifying companies: $1,200 (for a total fee of $3,860 per company for the first participant for grant recipients). $1,650 each additional participant.

PLEASE NOTE: ATTENDANCE AT THE SHOW: Participants are expected to exhibit at the one on one event. SEMA heavily promotes the brands attending and so the buyers -- many traveling from great distances -- are dissapointed if representatives from a brand are not present. Failure to show up at the exhibition(s)will result in the company being ineligible to participate on future trips. - participants are expected to exhibit at the one one one event. Thanks for your help with this!

Firms that certify that the products promoted at the SEMA Nordic Business Development Program contain a minimum of 51% U.S. content may be eligible for a $1,200 grant for qualifying companies.

MDCP Grant Application

As a result of SEMA’s recent designation as a Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) grant winner by the U.S. Department of Commerce, you may be eligible for a rebate of $1,200 of the fees paid to participate in the 2022 SEMA Nordic Business Development Program. These funds would be used to defray the cost of participating, reducing the fees from a base price of the event to $3,860 (per company one participant)

Eligibility Requirements

The grant is available to U.S. exporters seeking to export a good or service produced in the United States based on the following definitions:

1. U.S. exporters seeking to export a good or service produced in the United States based on the following definitions: U.S. exporter: a. U.S. citizen; or b. a corporation, partnership or other association created under the laws of the United States or of any State; or c. entity 95% U.S.-owned.

AND

2. Produced in the United States: a. of U.S. origin; or b. labeled “Made in USA” or; c. containing at least 51% percent U.S. content (including material, labor, equipment and factory overhead, R&D, design, intellectual property, as well as U.S.-sourced administrative, marketing, sales, distribution and other costs).

AND

3. Meets the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) definition of a small business. While the exact numbers vary by industry, a small business is generally defined as one that has fewer than 500 employees and a maximum of $38.5 million in average annual receipts.

I understand that this certification, as defined above, is a requirement to receive the grant described above.

3. Keeping Track of How We Are Doing

Our partner, ITA, is tasked by the U.S. Congress to help U.S. companies be more competitive. One of the proven methods to increasing the health of your firm is to diversify your customer base, which can have the benefit of adding to your bottom line, lead to product improvement and innovative ideas—even in the United States—and better position your firm to ride out future economic downturns. Therefore a good indicator of a firm’s competitiveness is a company’s exports. SEMA and the ITA want to know how we are doing.

Participants receiving these subsidies agree to participate in periodic surveys conducted by SEMA—upon returning to the United States and then quarterly for a one-year period post-event. This information will only be used in the aggregate and as always, proprietary information is never released publicly without your written permission.

(1) The dollar value and number of Nordic- bound export sales (deliveries or contracts for goods or services). Please share any information such as a non-proprietary description of the type of good or service sold, its application, steps you took to make the sale, etc.

(2) Export-related agreements you conclude such as signing an agent or distributor.

(3) Value of any trade complaint or difficulty in getting your product to market you are able to resolve as a result of help from SEMA or ITA

(4) Other relevant information you care to share with us such as staff hired or re-assigned to exporting.

(5) Other examples of your success in developing business in the Nordic region.

4. Export Achievement Awards

SEMA members with the highest reported export success in the Nordic region through participation in these SEMA initiatives become eligible for recognition by a top Commerce official with an Export Achievement Award certificate.

I agree to the terms of the participation agreement with SEMA as set forth above.
