Arancha González, Executive Director, ITC

This year, the International Trade Centre (ITC) marks its 50th anniversary. Since ITC was created in 1964, its role has changed dramatically in response to the ever-changing landscape of global trade. From a five-person office, ITC has grown into a team of 300 staff from across the globe working with developing countries, their small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and trade and investment promotion institutions, to build productive capacities and boost trade competitiveness.
