Build better Business Support Organizations
BSOs are powerful partners for any economic or trade development initiative. They are well placed actors that understand local markets, and have networks that reach into both the public and private sectors. ITC can help you map local business-support ecosystems; identify the most well-suited, trusted partners; and strengthen their capacity to deliver value for your initiatives.
