...you can export your services without leaving your office? ...even the smallest of businesses can export? ...by having a world-class website, you might attract world-class clients? ...partnering is one the most strategic moves you can make to enter a new market? ...exporting services requires strong skills in networking, relationship selling and credibility building?

The purpose of the agreement is more than just making trade possible – it’s about making trade happen. Pascal Lamy Director General, World Trade Organization at the Second Regional Review on Aid

Service Coalitions

His Excellency Edwin Carrington, Secretary General of CARICOM at the launch of the Belize Coalition of Service Providers
