About Us

The Massachusetts Office of International Trade & Investment (MOITI) works to expand the Massachusetts economy by marketing the state’s business internationally through: * Focused export promotion * Attracting foreign companies to invest into Massachusetts * Handling protocol as it relates to trade and investment

The two agencies primarily responsible for international trade development in the state are MOITI and its sister agency, the Massachusetts Export Center.

Since 1983 the functions and operations of the Massachusetts Office of International Trade & Investment have been performed under contract by the Massachusetts International Trade Council, Inc. (MITCI). Incorporated in 1979, MITCI is a not for profit corporation organized to enhance the global competitiveness of Massachusetts. Its mission is:

“To assist the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to create new employment opportunities within the Commonwealth by conducting research and disseminating and providing information to foreign business, interested observers and the general public.”

MITCI is governed by an independent seven-person Board of Directors which is actively involved in driving our mission of focusing on export promotion and attracting foreign companies to invest into Massachusetts. Board members have vast experience in both public and private sectors related to international trade, investment and promoting economic growth. The Board is a crucial asset in promoting our mission and goals. View our current Board of Directors.
