Mission and objectives

Practical support for trade-led business The world faces monumental economic challenges, with the most vulnerable battered by social and economic instability. We at ITC are working to change this through trade for good. We offer small businesses, policymakers and business support organizations in developing countries an array of trade-related practical training, advisory services, and a wealth of business intelligence data. We help micro, small and medium-sized businesses become more competitive and help to create better regulatory environments for trade. We are empowering women, youth and refugees through jobs. Through our programmes, projects, services and data, we are helping drive digital connectivity and a global transition to green, sustainable trade.
