The pandemic led to borders being closed and flights being cancelled. As a result, the international business community has begun to reassess traditional communication tools and channels. The widespread proliferation of digital technology and new communication platforms has played an essential role in fostering international trade. Various innovative solutions aimed at ensuring continuous interaction between exporters and importers have already emerged in several countries. These virtual export centres are helping to bring together manufacturers and buyers from across the globe. What online communication solutions are businesses in other countries using? How do users of these platforms interact? What can be done to ensure that a communications platform of this kind is effective?
