More than 29 Trainers took part in the event, who got the opportunity to hone their skills and are expected to help future exporters and guide SMEs towards easier international trade. These 29 highly promising individuals, received certificates and were acknowledged by the industry experts after successfully completing the program and were given recognized as verified Export-trainers. The event was graced by several high-ranked personnel from Business Promotion Council (BPC), Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), and Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC).
