The International Trade Centre and DHL have signed a memorandum of understanding to deepen their collaboration supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly women-led businesses, to trade across borders. The agreement combines ITC's expertise in market intelligence, SME development, and inclusive trade with DHL's global logistics network and technical expertise. SMEs account for around 90% of businesses globally, provide roughly 70% of employment, and contribute 70% of global GDP, yet many face barriers to participating fully in international trade. Under the agreement, ITC and DHL will support small businesses with cross-border trade, covering exports, supply chains, and logistics, and work with business support organizations.
