© ITC/M. Hubble, A. Penistan Members of the e-Trade
Bridge network shared ideas and experiences. |
The annual meeting of network members of ITC's e-Trade Bridge
programme in Izmir, Turkey, in November 2006 helped trade
institutions in 25 countries compare notes on how they are helping
small firms use communications technology to manage their
businesses more efficiently.
Three agencies from Turkey co-hosted the meeting: the
Association of International Trade Advisors and Trainers, the
Export Promotion Center of Turkey, and the European Union-Turkey
Business Centre.
As part of the occasion, two training events, on "Managing for
Competitiveness" and "Bridging the Use Divide", were held for close
to 300 firms. The China Centre for Promotion of International Trade
was nominated to host the next annual event in Beijing.
