Here’s a great opportunity for SMEs worldwide to enter ‘The Open to Export – International Business Awards’ for the chance to win US$5000 for your export plans & for the chance to showcase your business at the WTO Public Forum in Geneva.

The ‘Open to Export International Business Awards‘ is an initiative launched with the support of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and the UK’s very own Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT).

Companies from anywhere in the world are invited to enter their completed ‘Export Action Plans’, using Open to Export’s (OTE) online planning tool, before 10 August 2018. Ten (10) shortlisted finalists will then pitch their businesses to the international media, international government officials, and global business leaders at the WTO Public Forum in Geneva in October for the chance to win US$5000 and a range of other exciting prices, allowing them to kick-start their export action plan and turn them into reality!

OTE has created a new portal, https://opentoexport.com/international-business-awards/, for companies interested in entering the competition, with supporting resources and more information about the WTO-ICC Small Business Champions initiative, including FAQs where you can find further information and details, and useful resources to help you with your export plans.
