The U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA) is the premier U.S. government resource for American companies competing in the global marketplace. Operating in more than 100 U.S. locations and 80 markets worldwide, ITA promotes trade and investment, assists U.S. businesses and workers to export and expand globally, and ensures fair trade and compliance by enforcing U.S. trade laws and agreements.

On March 16, 2026, our team at Kaizen launched the digital platform for the American AI Exports Program, a federal initiative to help U.S. companies export full-stack AI technology to allies and partners around the world. The platform also supports the AI Consortia Program, which enables American companies to form industry-led consortia to propose integrated AI technology packages for export to trusted foreign buyers.

The program offers designated consortia significant federal support, including priority for export control license reviews, prioritized access to U.S. federal credit programs, government-to-government engagement via direct advocacy, and dedicated interagency coordination.

Beginning April 1, 2026, industry-led consortia may submit proposals for full-stack AI export packages for a 90-day window. For more information, visit AIexports.gov.
