Launched in 2016 and spearheaded by Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC), the Botswana Trade Portal is gaining traction in the local business community.

The Trade Portal, which currently serves about 27 000 active users, has been built
according to the most exacting of standards in partnership with the World Trade
Organisation.
‘However, there’s plenty of room for more users,’ assures BITC Chief Executive Officer,
Keletsositse Olebile.
‘The Botswana Trade Portal is designed to help entrepreneurs at all stages of their
development to make faster, more informed trade decisions.’
‘We bring a wide spectrum of public sector stakeholders together, giving them an open
platform to post all their latest trade announcements, regulations, application forms and
procedures.’
‘The Botswana Trade Portal should be your first port of call on the day you decide to act
on your idea to become an importer or exporter.’
‘We are here to make research quicker, help you comply with a wide variety of laws, and
grow your business faster in an increasingly competitive world,’ emphasises Olebile.
‘I personally encourage anyone with an active business, or even just an idea, to set up a
free account with us. We want you to have every possible advantage, and are standing
by to assist you in any way we can to make your cross border enterprise a success,’ he
concludes.
