One instance of BEPEC’s involvement in accessing foreign markets is an upcoming trip to Tanzania in September this year, with a group of our members. BEPEC is the last stop, from the paperwork involved in approving the funding from the DTI, to making appointments with potential clients in Tanzania.
We also involve all the applicable authorities to gain support for our members, from the embassies and ambassadors to the roads agency and various departments.
BEPEC also provides a full brief regarding the scope of work and projects, helping members identify project opportunities.
This is just one example of BEPEC’s commitment to its members.
