WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) is announcing the launch of ExportAI, a major new initiative designed to strengthen U.S. global competitiveness and accelerate the export of American artificial intelligence technologies.
The ExportAI Initiative will:
- Deploy American AI at scale by leveraging Department of Commerce-designated AI exports to fast-track the global deployment of trusted U.S. technologies before our competitors can gain ground
- Unlock new markets for American exporters by broadening EXIM’s financing reach with bold new pathways purpose-built for the strategic AI transactions of today and tomorrow
- Accelerate deals and replace administrative bottlenecks and processes with streamlined exporter statements so American companies can move at the speed of the market
“American leadership in AI will define the industries, supply chains, and economic competitiveness of the future,” Chairman John Jovanovic said. “Through the ExportAI Initiative, EXIM is leveraging the full strength of its financing toolkit to help American companies export trusted AI technologies worldwide, strengthen our industrial base here at home, and ensure the next generation of global innovation is built on American technology, equipment, and workers.”
America is the world’s AI epicenter; home to its most advanced research, foundational intellectual property, and the engineers defining what comes next. North America commands over 35 percent of global AI market share, and U.S. firms remain by far the dominant players when it comes to the export of AI-capable hardware, from semiconductors to models to applications. President Trump’s vision for American innovation and competitiveness is clear: establish American AI as the gold standard for AI worldwide and ensure our allies are building on American technology. That vision drives EXIM’s mission to ensure U.S. companies lead in the technologies that will define the decades ahead.
Through the American AI Exports Program—aligned with President Trump’s Executive Order 14320 promoting the export of the American AI technology stack—EXIM will unleash America’s financing power to help U.S. companies compete and win in the race to shape the next generation of technology that will define the 21st century and beyond.
Now, EXIM is going even further by unlocking potentially billions in financing for U.S. AI exports, enabling faster, more flexible support for strategic deals and strengthening U.S. competitiveness in the global market.
