Supplier
Springboard

Launching in April 2024

The Challenge

Global majority leaders, we hear you. We understand the challenges you face in entering corporate supply chains – limited resources, scarce investments, and difficulties accessing corporate networks. You may even feel you have to work twice as hard for half of the support that your peers receive. It’s time to level the playing field! 

As the demand for corporate businesses to diversify their supply chain grows, your expertise is more valuable than ever. And we believe in your potential to thrive and excel in the corporate world. 

 

Our solution
