For over a decade, Building Markets has successfully addressed this challenge through our find, build, connect model.
Verify SMEs through in-depth surveys and publish searchable business profiles and research
Enhance the commercial and digital capacity of SMEs through training and advisory services
Tender distribution, matchmaking and events enables SMEs to access new buyers, customers, and capital
Using local talent, our teams start by finding small businesses, which includes in-person interviews where we collect hundreds of data points on each enterprise. This information allows us to bring these businesses visibility, build their commercial capabilities, and connect them with demand opportunities in local, regional and global markets.
And we know this works. Since 2006, we have brought visibility to 26,600 SMEs, assisted them in winning over $1.36 billion in new contracts and $21 million in capital. This has helped create more than 73,500 full-time equivalent jobs.
I consider Building Markets to be one of the world's most innovative organizations working on rebuilding economies in war-torn and fragile states.
Robert Greenhill, Former Managing Director of the World Economic Forum
