Hello, I’m Ümit, an international trade specialist with over a decade of experience working closely with micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). My journey has been a dynamic collaboration with these businesses, assisting them in initiating exports or expanding their reach in the global market.

Every engagement with these enterprises has been a valuable learning experience, contributing significantly to my knowledge base. Their stories, challenges, and triumphs have shaped my understanding of international trade, making me not just a strategist but also a passionate advocate for the potential of MSMEs on the global stage.

Since 2018, I’ve been committed to sharing this wealth of knowledge through this blog. My motivation is rooted in a belief that for a world that is just and sustainable, it is essential to empower small businesses worldwide to actively participate in the global economy. I firmly believe that these enterprises play a crucial role, contributing diversity, innovation, and resilience that are vital for a thriving global community.

Here, you’ll find an expansive range of topics – from the technical aspects of international trade, marketing, and branding to the broader scope of research, entrepreneurship, and the inspiring stories of real individuals who embarked on their journeys from scratch.

Join me in this exploration of not just business but the multifaceted world of global citizenship. This platform is not just about transactions; it’s about understanding cultures, navigating geopolitical landscapes, and promoting sustainability in every business decision.

I invite you to be part of this community, to engage with the content, ask questions, and share your insights. Together, let’s contribute to the growth of MSMEs worldwide and work towards creating a more inclusive, just, and sustainable global economy.

If you have any questions or insights to share, please feel free to get in touch. Your participation is key to making this platform a hub for knowledge, inspiration, and collaboration.
