Ascent AeroSystems, a new-to-export developer of unmanned aerial systems, recently began receiving interest from global markets. The firm turned to the MSBDC Massachusetts Export Center for support. Given the military applications of its technology, Ascent faced complex export regulatory requirements. The Export Center provided extensive trade compliance support and helped the firm to launch exports to Europe and the Middle East. The Export Center also supported Ascent in building its export compliance program, which will help its global trade operations to grow and support domestic government contracting requirements. Ascent AeroSystems is on track to take advantage of growing global markets for its cutting-edge drone technology.
