ITC | Centre du Commerce International

The International Trade Centre (ITC) is the joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, fully dedicated to supporting small businesses of developing countries to trade. ITC is the focal point in the United Nations system for technical cooperation with developing countries and economies in transition, on trade promotion and export development.   

ITC puts trade-led growth at the centre of its work in developing countries: 

• provide country-and client-specific tailored support through unique advisory services, capacity building, training and mentoring, free tools and business data, and trade-specific publications. 
• improve the availability and use of trade intelligence; strengthen trade support institutions; enhance policies for the benefit of exporting enterprises; build the export capacity of enterprises to respond to market opportunities; and mainstream inclusiveness. 
• leverage the current digital momentum, the exponential use of e-commerce platforms and artificial intelligence by incorporating digital elements in all of our projects. 
• connect micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to global and regional value chains, a major contributor to economic growth and poverty reduction.
