The “”SME Finance Virtual Marketplace”” is an online partnership platform that helps members of the SME Finance Forum, especially financial institutions, fintech companies, and development finance institutions/investors, work together. GlobalLinker, an AI-powered “”Digital Ecosystem”” that offers SMEs a range of services to help them build a digital presence, such as e-commerce, powers the virtual Marketplace.
How do things work in the Marketplace?
Each institution must have the following in order to take part in the marketplace:
A profile of the institution (including a profile of the company and its products or services)
A personal profile (individuals representing the companies)
People on the Marketplace can look at the products and services available (such as investment products, advisory services, technology solutions, etc.) and reach out to each other to talk about possible collaboration and partnership.
Read the User Manual at this link to learn how to set up a company profile, a listing, and a personal profile.
