Accelerate Prosperity has launched U.Solve Trade, an export acceleration programme designed to help post-revenue Pakistani businesses strengthen their export readiness, improve competitiveness, and access new global opportunities. The programme addresses a gap many Pakistani manufacturers face, where world class products often lack the certifications, systems, market connections, and financing needed to compete in higher value international markets.
The programme is targeting businesses across several specific sectors, including surgical and med-tech, sports goods and performance textiles, ceramics, cutlery, and light engineering, alongside other sectors looking to expand their export footprint. This sector specific focus reflects industries where Pakistan already has established manufacturing capability but has historically struggled to fully capture higher value export opportunities due to gaps in certification and market access.
Shortlisted businesses will gain access to business diagnostics and export readiness assessments, along with certification and compliance support covering CE and UKCA marking as well as ISO readiness, addressing regulatory requirements that are often necessary preconditions for entering higher value markets in Europe and the United Kingdom. Participants will also receive one on one technical advisory and expert clinics, giving businesses direct access to specialised guidance tailored to their specific export challenges.
The programme includes a three day Export Readiness Bootcamp alongside industry exposure visits and peer learning opportunities, giving participating businesses both structured training and the chance to learn from other companies navigating similar export challenges. U.Solve Trade also offers international buyer and market linkages, directly connecting participating businesses with potential customers and partners in target export markets, addressing one of the more difficult aspects of export expansion for businesses without existing international networks.
High performing businesses selected through the programme can access up to two hundred thousand dollars in patient financing, giving them capital structured with terms suited to the often longer timelines involved in building export capability and securing international contracts. Those interested in learning more or applying can do so through the links shared as part of the announcement at https://lnkd.in/d_y86AWN and https://lnkd.in/dF5wX2nR, with U.Solve Trade adding to Accelerate Prosperity’s broader portfolio of programmes supporting Pakistani businesses across different stages of growth and market expansion.
