MBABANE- Eswatini Investment and Trade Promotion Authority (EIPA) have
facilitated opportunities for business linkages between Eswatini and Asia.
EIPA in partnership with TAITRA (Taiwan Trade) will host online B2B seminars to
create business linkages for companies in Eswatini and Asian markets. The event,
which will be held from June 28 to July 1, will be held online.
Commented
Sibusiso Mnisi, Manager of external trade at EIPA commented on the benefits that
local businesses would have by signing up for the B2B meetings. He said the
ultimate aim is to create a trade linkage between our local traders and the
Asian market. “Part of EIPA’s mandate is to enhance trade in Eswatini
locally, regionally and with international markets,” he said.
Mnisi said these seminars would expose local businesses to the Asian market by
allowing them to have one on one time with companies in Taiwan who either want
to source products from Eswatini or those who want to become suppliers for local
businesses.
Sectors
The sectors which would be covered include the automobile, plastic packaging,
electronics, food and beverages, healthcare, chemicals, ICT, solar, home and
office decor and manufacturing sectors. He said each meeting would last 30
minutes, scheduled between nine and 12, and will be a private interaction
between a local company and an interested participant in Taiwan.
Mnisi added that traders from Eswatini would be expected to register for the
sessions, as space is limited. Eswatini based companies who would like to apply
for the meetings should access the registration forms.
