Parlez affaires et faites des affaires au Forum mondial pour le développement des exportations
Le commerce est un moyen de créer des emplois, de diminuer des prix et d’investir dans l’avenir.
par WEDF Nouvelles
The World Export Development Forum (WEDF) helps people do just that. As the flagship event of the International Trade Centre, we bring together business leaders, policymakers, trade organizations and international agencies to talk business, and do business.

Now in its 18th year, WEDF is the place where trade policy meets business practice. Businesses and trade experts connect, innovate, invest, and do business. New opportunities emerge; WEDF is what you make of it! At last year’s event in Budapest, small Hungarian firms made deals they might never have expected, with companies from Myanmar to Colombia. A new partnership agreement and business deals emerged between Hungary and Sri Lanka, the previous WEDF host. And our entrepreneurs pitch competition winner, Agrocenta of Ghana, went on to win half a million dollars at Seedstars, the world’s biggest pitch competition for emerging markets!

From green finance to sustainable packaging, women in trade, jobs for youth and much more, WEDF topics address business and trade topics at the cutting edge of development. Our participants express a 95% satisfaction rate, and we’ve seen them take home the learnings of WEDF and apply them to their own countries.

Each year, we also bring targeted insights to WEDF participants from our annual publication, The SME Competitiveness Outlook. We’ll also launch publications at the event on the African business environment, the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, and the results of an SME Competitiveness Survey in Zambia.

This year’s host is Zambia, located in the heart of Africa, and host to COMESA, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. Our exciting programme this year features a blend of plenary sessions, one-on-one conversations, practical workshops, a spotlight on youth and our signature business-to-business meetings, this time in the agribusiness sector (products, machines and packaging).

We encourage you to influence the conversation; bring your companies, to contribute directly to trade development; and reach out to mobilize businesses, young professionals and government officials who are looking to Scale up through trade, the theme of this year’s event.
