“I am excited to know that these companies are taking the next steps to grow their businesses beyond Guam and to international markets,” said Governor Leon Guerrero. “It was inspiring to hear their personal stories and see the passion they have for what they do. The success of these entrepreneurs and others in our local business community is instrumental to the economic recovery of our island, and we must support their efforts.”
“Guam STEP provides that extra push for our local companies to take advantage of opportunities overseas and grow their global brand,” said GEDA CEO/Administrator Melanie Mendiola. “These companies are representing Guam through their products as they expand their reach. We hope that this is just the start for many of our other local businesses and entrepreneurs to dream big and to dream global.”
