Trade Centres

For information regarding trade centres look under this Yellow Pages® heading. A trade centre brings together businesses, government agencies, individuals, small businesses, and corporations involved in trade both foreign and local for the purpose of furthering economic development, trade, and partnerships. Trade centres are one-stop trade information hubs where businessmen (international or local) can be provided with a full range of services such as market research, available trade shows and exhibits, offered exhibit space, business services, trade education, group trade missions, and WTC clubs.

More than just a building or venue, a trade centre provides essential trade services and stimulates the economy of the region it serves. Trade centres are usually associated with other trade centres from across the globe and thus are able to provide services associated with global commerce under one roof. Engaging the services or being a member in a trade centre gives a business prime and continuous access and exposure to various services, organisations, and individuals essential for success in world trade.

The purpose of a trade centre is to provide information to businesses and businessmen and stimulate trade whether locally or globally. A trade centre offers its members and tenants a wide range of facilities and services such as: trade information and market research – for up-to-date information local products and services, market conditions, government regulations and business culture, trade shows and exhibit space – when hosting trade-oriented events, business services – such as state of the art video conferencing, Internet access, word processing and more, trade education services – practical international trade courses about key local and global business issues, and group trade missions – which includes taking part in outbound missions to explore new markets and receiving incoming business groups.
