Large international NGOs, such as the United Nations, Red Cross, IMF, World Bank, etc. form an estimated annual market of $20 Billion. How can SMEs tap into this substantial market?

The Promoting Exports to International NGOs (INGOs) project organizes on-site events and webinars on the opportunities, challenges, tips and successful examples of doing business with international NGOs.

In this webinar you will learn about how the United Nation and International Federation of Red Cross cooperate with SMEs as well as the opportunities that local NGOs offer. In 2024, the project will arrange trips for the most potential SMEs where they have a chance to meet representatives of different non-government organisations and inter-governmental bodies.
