| The 34th IATTO Forum in Stockholm turned out a big success |
| Thank you for making this Forum a great experience. More then 120 trade professionals from 24 countries met at the World Trade Center in Stockholm for the IATTO Forum hosted by ITM Worldwide. And this is only the beginning… |

We managed to get representatives from the Swedish Government, World Trade Center Association, International Trade Center, Trade Organisations from the Caribbean’s, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden and Turkey, trade training organisations but also exporting SMEs to meet. "This is the first time in IATTO´s history that we managed to do this at one occasion", says Hasse Karlsson, ITM Worldwide Director, who was hosting the Forum.
As a result of this we now have a dialogue with both World Trade Center and International Trade Center how we best can coordinate trade training organisations to develop trade skills within SMEs both in industrial- and developing countries.
We are moving ahead with a proposal to hold the next Forum in Sophia Antipolis, Nice, France, in October 2009, to be able to offer matchmaking for exporting SMEs taking part in trade training.
It is IATTO´s belief that all partners involved, trade supporting organisations as well as trade training bodies, have to cooperate to be able to offer sustainable trade management concepts to exporting SMEs. This Forum was the first step in that direction. |
