History Of The Global Trade Point Network

With the internet making international trade much easier and an increase in fast, efficient and cost effective ways to ship materials and products coordinating a way for increasing the ability to trade was a focus for many countries. This has taken on several years ago in the early part of 1992 as the Trade Point Programme. The original program was developed and launched by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. While originally more designed to increase communication between businesses and marketing it has now become a much more comprehensive program.
One major feature or section of the original Trade Point Programme is the Global Trade Point Network, also known as GRPnet. As of 2000 the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development no longer managed the program, rather a separate entity known as the World Trade Point Federation or WTPF was established to oversee the initiative. It is designed to be an international, non-governmental organization that works with all countries and all business to create an access point for information on communication and marketing around the world.
The benefits of the Global Trade Point Network are huge for small to medium sized businesses in all countries. Not only can they market their goods but they can also find new sources for raw materials, new ideas for trade and even new customers anywhere in the world.
