Global Technology Network

Mission:

"To facilitate sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging markets through business linkages and technology transfer."

GTN facilitates the transfer of technology and services through the identification, dissemination and matching of industry specific requests for quotations (RFQs) for member companies located in the United States, developing countries and transition economies. Regionally driven leads are electronically matched to pre-qualified U.S. registered suppliers or companies participating in GTN's intra-regional trade programs in Africa, Asia and Southeast Europe. While there is a likelihood that GTN can lead to direct sales, there is also an emphasis on sustainable, long term opportunities for suppliers, in the area of direct investment, establishing joint ventures and selecting regional/national agents and distributors in areas of the world that USAID has an active presence. U.S. companies can register by visiting www.usgtn.net

GTN primarily focuses on four key industry sectors:

• Agribusiness Technology
• Information & Communication Technology (ICT)
• Environmental & Energy Technology
• Health & Medical Technology

GTN currently has operations in the following regions:

• Africa
• Asia/Near East
• Europe & Eurasia
• Latin America & Carribean

GTN Launches New Platform:

A new GTN platform was recently unveiled which is much more interactive and interesting for registered companies. For example, companies are now given passwords so that they can enter the site and query GTN's database of trade leads (called Requests For Quotations in the new platform), and other companies for potential business linkages.
