INGOs

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.
