Indianapolis - Summer in the Cities Buyers Mission

Food Export-Midwest supports U.S. food and beverage companies in expanding into global markets. One of their most popular services is the Buyers Mission program, which brings international buyers who are actively seeking U.S. products to the United States to meet with U.S. suppliers.

The Summer in the Cities Buyers Mission will bring nearly 20 international buyers to Indianapolis. Participating companies will receive pre-scheduled meetings with vetted buyers, eliminating the guesswork in international sales leads and accelerating entry into global markets - all without leaving the state. 

1. Proven Success: In 2025, Summer in the Cities generated $9.72 million in sales, including 153 first-time exports to new markets.

Note: even if you don't generate any sales off the bat, it's still a fantastic opportunity to learn about your product's global potential!

2. High-Quality Buyers: Meet with nearly 20 international buyers from a range of global markets. Click here to view the buyer profiles.

3. Free One-on-One Consultations: Food Export's In-Market Representatives will be onsite offering free, real-time insights and tailored guidance. 

4. Networking Lunch Included: Connect with peers, build relationships, and continue the conversation in a more relaxed setting. Lunch is included in the registration cost.

5. Unique Format: A focused, standalone experience designed to maximize meaningful connections and business outcomes.

Beyond the international connections, it's also a great time to network with fellow Indiana companies.
