The 17th edition of the World Export Development Forum (WEDF) in Budapest, Hungary explores how trade can be a force for good at a time when global challenges – economic, social and environmental – are changing the way trade works.

In addition to policy discussions and practical workshops, facilitated business-to-business meetings will create opportunities for national and international companies to create new partnerships.

The event will also include the launch of the Hungarian chapter of SheTrades, ITC women’s empowerment initiative aiming at connecting one million women to the international markets by 2020.
