The Export Promotion Division works to ensure the continued advancement of Israel's exports. The International Projects and Financing Division, the newest division in the Ministry, offers different programs that support Israeli companies in their business operations abroad.

These missions are located in primary trade and commercial centers worldwide, as well as in multilateral organizations such as the WTO and the OECD. In the past few years, Israel has increased her presence in the Far East and South America by opening additional missions in these regions.
