ECOTA’s Partnership with CBI

Partnership Overview:

The Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI), part of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been fostering sustainable economic growth in developing countries since 1971. CBI’s mission is to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by helping them access European markets while promoting sustainable development goals. As a designated Business Support Organization (BSO) for the CBI Export Coaching Programme, ECOTA collaborates with CBI to provide crucial support to Bangladeshi producers, specifically in the Home Decoration and Home Textiles sector. This strategic partnership allows ECOTA to receive specialized training and resources from CBI experts, equipping both ECOTA and its members with the tools and knowledge necessary for success in the global marketplace.
