Kansas International Trade Show Assistance Program (KITSAP)

KITSAP helps Kansas businesses take part in international trade shows to increase export sales. It is the trade-show counterpart to KITMAP, which covers broader export marketing activity, and it sits under the same Kansas Department of Commerce and NetWork Kansas umbrella. The program is a matching grant route, but the source pages do not publish a standard award cap or a match percentage. It appears to run on a rolling basis, and eligibility is limited to for-profit companies operating in Kansas; non-profits, universities, research organizations, and individuals are not eligible. KITSAP fits companies that can use a trade show to open a sales channel rather than simply gather market intelligence. The strongest applicants are Kansas firms with a product ready for export, a targeted event in mind, and a practical reason to use international travel as a sales tool. It is strongest where the event itself can lead directly to buyer conversations or distributor meetings.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
