ATLANTA – November 6, 2018 - Enviropouch® is a recipient of a $5,000 grant

designed to engage small- and medium-sized businesses in metro Atlanta in the
development of international sales plans.
Companies from all over the 29-county
region, ranging in size from pre-revenue startups to small and established
medium-sized businesses, applied to the program. Thirty companies were selected
in the competition and will each receive a grant of $5,000 to apply towards the

The Atlanta MEC is one of many ways
to engage small- and medium-sized companies in metro Atlanta in the development
of their international business. Over the last two years, the program has given
out more than $400,000 to metro Atlanta companies thanks to the generous
sponsorship of JPMorgan Chase & Co, which again contributed $100,000 to
this year’s program. Additional sponsorship came from the Metro Atlanta
Chamber, UPS, Johnson Controls and Partnership Gwinnett.
“JPMorgan Chase is pleased to
help metro Atlanta businesses grow in the international economy,” said David
Balos, head of JPMorgan Chase’s Middle Market Banking group in Georgia. ‘’These
grants will help companies spend time in their target markets to meet with
distributors, partners, and potential customers. Seeing metro Atlanta companies
grow their international business will consequently lead to job creation and
growth of the metro Atlanta economy.”
The Atlanta MEC is being implemented by ORBATL, a regional partnership of metro Atlanta public and private leaders that enables businesses to grow in the global economy through trade and foreign direct investment.
