In Chicago, we have Metro Chicago Exports, and now in Atlanta, they have the Metro Export Plan (MEP).

The Metro Export Challenge (MEC), an initiative of the Atlanta Metro Export Plan (MEP) intended to drive growth of international sales for companies in the region, has recruited new partners this year to target a different range of companies, including startups and minority and women-owned businesses. 

No matter who is behind a metro initiative, it helps drive export growth.  As the article states, every $1 billion in exports creates 6,000 new jobs.
