Building Capability for a Changing Trade Environment
Global trade is entering a period of sustained complexity. Businesses are navigating shifting supply chains, evolving compliance requirements, the rapid expansion of digital trade, and ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty. For many organisations—particularly SMEs—this creates both new risks and opportunities.
In response to these changes, GTPA and EMTC’s 2026 programs are designed to strengthen practical trade capability across the ecosystem, including exporters, importers, logistics providers, digital businesses, advisers, and policymakers. The focus is on applied knowledge, decision-making frameworks, and skills that reflect current market conditions.
Programs are delivered in a range of formats to support different learning needs and operational constraints. These include in-person workshops, live simulations, and online modules. Content can also be adapted to align with specific organisational contexts, allowing participants to apply concepts directly to their own trade activities.
Program Areas:
Trade Advisory in Action: Focuses on real-world export strategy development, including market entry considerations, risk assessment, and advisory practices.
