ABOUT RTPO

The International Network for Regional Trade Promotion Organizations aims at establishing a meeting point between different agencies which are located across the world but have similar objectives and missions, so that they can come together to share their experiences and develop joint projects.

ABOUT RTPO

The RTPO Network has always worked with one vision: To network with similar trade promotion agencies at the regional level, to allow for the enrichment of every member of the RTPO network, and thus extend those benefits on the promotion of exports of SMEs around the world; and one mission: To exchange information, to share specialties and to execute joint projects in order to achieve internationalization and create opportunities for each of the SMEs that the agencies represent.
On behalf of accomplishing its mission this meeting point should not only provide a space for mutual recognition amongst similar agencies, but it should also increase their presence at an international level.

Thus, the key elements of this network can be summarized as:
* Meeting point - Mutual recognition
* Exchange of experiences and best practices
* Joint projects
* Uniform Recognition of its members to the third parties

Two main themes define the common denominators of these organizations:
1. Non-state organizations (regional, autonomic, departmental, provincial)
2. Internationalization as main objective
RTPO will look for new members in order to enlarge the network and welcome those organizations interested in strengthening the role of regional agencies in the global world.
