Project summary
The annual market for procurements from large international NGOs, such as the United Nations, Red Cross, IMF, World Bank, etc., amounts to a substantial $20 billion. Despite this immense potential, numerous companies in the Central Baltic countries remain unaware of the sales and growth opportunities these markets present.
Addressing this challenge, the Promoting Exports to International NGOs (INGOs) project offers small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) a comprehensive range of services. The project partners provide useful up-to-date information, facilitate networking events, and link businesses with expert coaches and mentors. These actions serve the project’s primary objective: to equip SMEs with the necessary tools to secure contracts with international non-governmental organizations.As a direct outcome of the project’s activities, a number of SMEs will be able to enter, and win, procurement bids from these organizations. Furthermore, a larger pool of companies will be well-prepared to capitalize on substantial sales opportunities in the future. Additionally, the partner organizations will enhance their expertise and refine their processes to effectively inform local SMEs about the possibilities offered by global NGO markets.
The project is funded by the EU Interreg Central Baltic Programme.
The Baltic Institute of Finland coordinates project management in this initiative together with the lead partner, Business Tampere.
