ArtisanConnect

ArtisanConnect is a web portal developed by the International Trade Centre, a UNCTAD/WTO agency which enables small business export success in developing countries by providing, with partners, sustainable and inclusive trade development solutions to the private sector, trade support institutions and policymakers.

The objective of the portal is to make the craft sector benefit  from trade opportunities. The portal offers sources on markets, design, techniques and projects to artisans and keeps the organizations up to date with regard to trade fairs and other related events worldwide. With its large database of organizations, it endeavors to create intra-industry linkages, especially between developed and developing countries.
