E-Commodity Bazaar makes its mark at SIAL 2016
The world's largest and most prestigious food exhibition SIAL that has been held every two years since 1964 was held on 16-20 October 2016 this year. Delegation of İzmir Commodity Exchange (ICE) participated at the SIAL 2016 International Food and Beverage Exhibition that was held in Paris, the capital of France, in order to promote "E-Commodity Bazaar Electronic Commodity Trading Platform".
The ICE attended the exhibition with a stand to introduce and promote the functions of E-Commodity Bazaar and İzmir Commodity Exchange in general in the international arena under the "Project for improving the electronic trading practices of the ICE member companies and increasing their trade volumes" that is supported by the Small and Medium-sized Industry Development Organization (KOSGEB) in order to develop the "E-Commodity Bazaar Electronic Commodity Trading Platform".
During the exhibition, the ICE's stand was frequently visited by many participants and the E-Commodity Bazaar was introduced and promoted elaborately. Bilateral trade talks were held with many foreign companies and institutions regarding the portal that attracted quite a lot of attention in the exhibition and possible collaboration opportunities that could be sought in this respect. In addition to the promotion of the portal, the delegation found the opportunity to examine the international sectoral developments, latest trends and innovative products during the exhibition.
By the foreign and domestic promotional activities, the ICE aims to render the E-Commodity Bazaar Trading Portal an internationally recognized 'B2B' platform in agricultural and food trade, and increase the number of members of the trading portal. Under the abovementioned one-year project supported by KOSGEB, the portal is planned to be developed in terms of system, software and design.
