B2B Match-making Platform
The B2B match-making platform goes beyond just being a platform for linking up members to members, and to large corporations. Once fully functional, it will also become a platform for identifying business opportunities both locally and abroad. These reports will start to become active once we have reasonable amounts of inputs from members and participants on the platform, specifically in terms of their inputs and outputs. Some of the reports to be featured are as below:
Business Opportunities
The business opportunities report will highlight products or services which members are requesting, but for which there are no ready suppliers, or suppliers are expensive. This will enable members to identify low-hanging opportunities to meet unmet demand within the market. This report will become increasingly useful as more members sign up and complete their inputs.
It will also highlight opportunities particularly from large corporations looking for SME suppliers for their value chain or administrative inputs.
Import Substitution
The import substitution report will highlight those products that are being sourced from outside the country, so that members are able to identify opportunities for local manufacture. Our aim is to increase local manufacturing and reduce import dependence. We will be working with other BMOs for large companies to identify major areas of imports which can be substituted.
Export Markets
The export markets report will be for the larger SME and corporate businesses, and will indicate opportunities for exports as well as participation in regional value chains. This report will enable accurate pin-pointing of areas of demand for local products and services both regionally and internationally.
