Who We Are
What We Do
International Trade
The International Trade Council actively supports businesses in expanding their reach into international markets. Through a combination of expert-led training programs, trade missions, and market research, we help companies identify new opportunities, navigate export regulations, and connect with global partners. Our goal is to empower businesses to grow their exports and build sustainable international trade relationships.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
We assist governments and economic development agencies in attracting foreign direct investment to their regions. By facilitating connections between investors and local businesses, offering guidance on regulatory environments, and promoting the unique benefits of different markets, we foster long-term investments that drive economic growth. The Council also provides platforms for global investors to explore and engage with opportunities that align with their strategic goals.
