Trade Mission
Trade organizations and many foreign industry associations often organize missions to promote overseas trade and economic development in their respective nations. It is one of the best and most effective options for companies looking to expand their businesses in the global markets. Organizations and companies substantially advantage by participating in a trade mission as it provides them a personal experience in their target market.
Large organizations have regularly explored new geographies for developing new client bases for their products and sourcing new suppliers from diverse countries. Small and medium establishments (SMEs), however, require local experts to assist them in recognizing government guidelines, business environment, and business culture, and finding potential partners who could be interested in joining them.
AICTPI’s Trade Mission Services can save businesses valuable time and resources by maximizing contact with potential partners, representatives, distributors, agents, local government organizations, and industry figures.
