ITC has been listening to its networks to find innovative solutions to create sustainable jobs through trade.

Over the years we’ve heard from trade promotion specialists who improved their skills, professors who used articles in their classes and entrepreneurs who spotted new business opportunities. This feedback is encouraging, and helps us focus on subjects you want to read.

Expanding our new feature “Meet Our Readers”, we interviewed readers to find out how they use Trade Forum and what they would like to see showcased in future editions.
