The “E” Awards are the highest recognition any U.S. entity may receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports.

The “E” Awards Committee was very impressed with Tuleu Consulting’s development of a successful business model that relies 100 percent on exports. The company’s work to help the country of Chad become self-sufficient in food production was also particularly notable. Tuleu Consulting’s achievements have undoubtedly contributed to national export expansion efforts that support the U.S. economy and create American jobs,” said U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritsker.
