Kansas International Trade Show Assistance Program

The Kansas International Trade Show Assistance Program (KITSAP) helps introduce Kansas companies to foreign markets through participation in trade shows. Eligible companies are those whose product or service originates in Kansas or whose products receive substantial value-added processing in Kansas.

A company must first apply to KITSAP, be approved, then sign and return the KITSAP contract before attending a funded trade show. After the company attends the trade show, the program will reimburse up to one-half of a company’s eligible direct expenses — not to exceed $3,500 per show. A company may not exceed $7,000 in total combined financial assistance during a State fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). KITSAP will only consider trade shows where the applicant is exhibiting for the first time.
