A joint effort to facilitate participation by smaller companies in international trade was launched by World Trade Organization (WTO) Director-General Roberto Azevêdo and International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Secretary-General John Danilovich. The initiative, entitled 'ICC-WTO Small Business Champions', will provide a platform for companies and private sector organisations around the world to propose innovative, practical ideas designed to encourage micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to do business across borders.

Those businesses putting forward successful proposals will be recognized as 'ICC-WTO Small Business Champions'. Learn what kind of proposals they are seeking for this initiative and what is the process for submitting proposals — and how will they be selected is by clicking the link below.
