Trade Promotion Organization of Iran

+ Introduction The successful experience of the world's leading countries in the economic sphere is the result of their strong focus on the export promotion and development of foreign trade. TPOs functions including; promotion, facilitation, information, and administration, provide support for the business community. The three core functions of trade policy, trade promotion, and trade facilitation will provide support to build productive capacities, upgrade industrial and agro-technologies, and expand exports and markets. In pursuit of those objectives and in view of the leading role of TPOs in preparing new policies and providing supporting facilities needed to develop a comprehensive infrastructure for the foreign trade, the Export Promotion Center of Iran (EPCI) with nearly four decades of hands-on experience in promoting the Non-Oil Export was restructured in 2004 and took up its new mandate as "Iran Trade Promotion Organization". + Aims & Objectives -- Foreign Trade Development of Islamic Republic of Iran -- Developing Export Markets for Iran's Goods & Services -- Assistance to Iranian SMEs to Expand Internationally -- Enterprise Development and Competitiveness -- Market and Product Development + Iran TPO Services -- Exploring Markets Globally -- Trade Missions -- International Trade Cooperation -- Collecting Information to Serve Business Better -- Market Information -- Trade Enquiries -- Virtual Access to the Market -- Exemplary Exporters Award -- Business Training & Seminars -- Business Library -- Trade Publications -- Trade Fairs & Exhibitions
