D) Holding In-Person and Online B2B Meetings:

Holding in-person and online B2B meetings in Tanzania can be an effective way to exchange information and create business opportunities. To hold in-person B2B meetings in Tanzania, several factors must be considered and established by colleagues, including selecting a suitable venue for the meetings. In Tanzania, hotels and conference halls are used as suitable venues for in-person B2B meetings.

For holding online B2B meetings in Tanzania, coordination with traders and suppliers and the use of appropriate communication tools are necessary.

E) Holding Business Events:

To hold business events, we need coordination and considerations such as obtaining information about reputable trade shows (exhibition information), organizing trade tours, obtaining commercial and leisure visas, reserving hotels and accommodation centers, preparing an export plan, providing advice and services for obtaining licenses with international standards in Tanzania, registering companies, trademarks, and patents in Tanzania, providing financial and accounting services in Tanzania (tax-related), holding training courses and workshops on exporting to Tanzania, monitoring tenders and assisting Iranian companies in tenders, providing services related to advertising on reputable websites or other advertising and marketing platforms in the target export country, assisting in identifying and introducing investment opportunities in the target

country, designing a website in Swahili language (the target country), providing office services and hiring local employees if necessary, providing warehouse rental services, and sourcing goods (studying and identifying suitable product and service capacities for importing from Tanzania to Iran).

It is true to say that after the neighboring countries, Africa has the most suitable market to present the Iranian products and services.
This vast continent imports about $ 600 billion annually, which despite the many benefits for Iranian goods, Iran’s exports to the African continent is less than $ 300 million per year, which is about 0.05 percent.
this matter is because of Iranian businessmen’s lack of information about Africa’s market, the perception of possible risks, and the lack of commercial foundations between Iran and Africa.

On the other hand, the original market of Africa and the Iranian products’ fair price and quality for the customers in this continent make Africa a suitable market for Iran.

The Africa trade development company has a detailed plan for marketing Iranian products and services in Africa.
