Regional Trade Promotion Program (RTP)

Regional Trade Promotion Program is a new program which may help your company to enter the Central Asia markets as well as World Market. This Program will enhance trade opportunities both within Central Asia and between Central Asia and other parts of the world, through the RRT Network and wide use of the Central Asian Trade Portal www.smetradecenter.net.

RTP Component was developed and launched in 2002 with the support of the USAID’s Mission in Central Asia. It was headed and implemented by the development projects of the Pragma Corporation during the last 4 years. At the end of 2006 the USAID’s Mission in Central Asia decided that the best way of developing this successful Program is to privatize it. That is why the tender for privatizing the RTP Program was opened and a lot of companies were invited to take part in it. Now the RTP Program is headed by the ITEG Trade Promotion Company, which was recognized by the USAID’s Mission in Central Asia as the best new owner of the Program.

Now highly qualified and professional staff of the ITEG Trade Promotion is working on transferring and reorientation the RTP Program at whole and the Central Asian Trade Portal particularly from donor basis to commercial project. We are developing different fee and free service packages that will be launched soon. At the moment we are still providing the most services free of charge, except creating mini-sites of our clients and placement of them at www.smetradecenter.net. In the short run we are going to launch a new service – placement promo-banners on the portal.
