Trade and Business Intelligence Trade Intelligence is important to those companies interested in operating in the global arena. Consequently, the Trade and Business Intelligence training provides key tools and information necessary when looking at international markets to export. Some topics include identifying potential markets, analyzing market conditions, reaching target marketing, export promotion etc. Throughout the session, the facilitator provides useful online links to assist with market research as well as a market pointer template to aid in developing your own market pointer for specific products. Trade Show Preparation EXPORTBelize assists those companies in preparing for their participation in international trade shows. Participants are guided through various actions to take before, during and after trade shows in addition to marketing tools to better sell their product or service. During the session, facilitators work with participants to set objectives that they would like to meet at shows and, thereafter, conduct follow up sessions to ensure those objectives were met. Facility Inspection To ensure that companies are putting in place basic General Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP), EXPORTBelize facilitates inspection of food facilities so as to prepare companies to be more export-ready.
