BPW Business Members wishing to Participate as Sellers in a Women Vendors Exhibition and Forum with Leading Multinational Corporations in CHONGQING, CHINA 27 – 29 September 2011
There is an increasing demand for goods and services supplied by high-caliber women-owned businesses. Over 90% of Fortune 500 Companies have a supplier diversity program under which they actively seek to source from women. As sourcing is no longer local or national, this presents an enormous opportunity for women around the world to sell into global supply chains. In response to the need to link buyers and sellers, the International Trade Centre (ITC, a joint agency of the United Nations and World Trade Organization), WEConnect International, the Chongqing Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Commission (COFTEC), BPW International, the China Association of Women Entrepreneurs, the International Women's Coffee Alliance, SPINNA, Quantum Leaps and other partner organizations are pleased to invite you to apply to participate in a global Women Vendors Exhibition and Forum.
