The project is to improve quality and efficiency in activities of the Government’s trade promotion agencies, firms, cooperatives and household businesses; and raise public awareness and capacity of IT application and digital transformation so as to promote foreign and domestic trade, contributing to the restructure of the industry-trade sector.

It strives to build a trade promotion ecosystem and a database by 2025.
