Main Results: A significant influence of the formal institution for the internationalization of MSMEs in the T&C Sector was identified, especially in the demystification of export myths, information on procedures for internationalization, promotion and support at fairs, adjustments in processes, products and management. However, there are also negative influences such as incipient attention to foreign trade issues, disclosure of the program with political interests, few practical export results, state bureaucracy and exchange rate volatility.
