SIALKOT, Nov 9: The federal government has formulated a strategy for providing information about export to small and medium entrepreneurs.

Officials told APP here on Tuesday that under the programme, the Export Promotion Bureau would soon initiate an "export information access facilitation" project for extending facilities of internet-connectivity, computer and printers to the SMEs.

This programme will be undertaken through business support centres based in industrial and commercial cities like Sialkot, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi, Muzaffarabad and Mirpur (Azad Kashmir), Gujranwala, Islamabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Quetta and internet cafes to provide access to business enterprises to browse commercial intelligence or data on the world-wide web.

Under the programme, access to such export information would also be provided in a user-friendly manner for foreign customers at five-star hotels, the officials added.-APP
