Samoan businesses get a boost

Pacific Trade Invest joined forces with Samoa Association of Manufacturers and Exporters (SAME) to prepare the groundwork for the marketing and promotion of the Path to Market and Investment Profiling workshop.

Workshops recently held in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Cook Islands were a huge hit with businesses, and the one-day event in Apia is expected to be just as well received.
