Strategic plan 2023 BelCCI

It was in 2017 when for the first time the Council of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry approved a unique document – the BelCCI Strategic Development Plan 2020. While drafting the plan, we intended to give a new impetus to our activities, not just keeping up with the times, but being one step ahead. We set ambitious targets to strengthen the Chamber’s role in supporting the national export and expanding the range of opportunities for domestic member-companies and organizations.

The 2020 strategic plan implementation results were approved by the BelCCI Congress, which, in turn, instructed to work out a new document for the period until 2023.

The four priorities defined in this plan constitute the key growth directions and main expectations of our members from the BelCCI. We would like to thank all of you for your participation in drafting this document. We will do our very best to achieve the goals set, thus strengthening our contribution to the prosperity of Belarus.
