Gedeth & IBG Global: Advancing Global Trade Together

Gedeth is proud to have an international trade development partnership with IBG Global, the world’s leading international trade consultancy. This alliance combines Gedeth’s local expertise with IBG Global’s global reach, delivering innovative solutions that help exporters and trade development agencies overcome challenges and thrive in today’s complex international trade environment.

In June 2025, IBG Global released its latest Innovative International Trade Programs report, a groundbreaking publication that addresses the evolving landscape of export promotion and trade development. The report offers valuable insights into how trade agencies can adapt to new realities by embracing digital marketing, strengthening private sector partnerships, and targeting clients more effectively. Paul Grossman, Executive Director at IBG Global, highlights that “international trade development is the most cost-effective and organic form of economic development,” yet many agencies lack platforms to share best practices. This report fills that gap by profiling innovative programs from ten countries, inspiring trade agencies to rethink traditional strategies and adopt transformative approaches.

Our partnership with IBG Global is key to bringing these forward-thinking strategies to our clients. The report’s focus on Framework, Functions, Focus, and Fault Lines guides trade agencies in optimizing operations and enhancing export competitiveness. Gedeth and IBG Global work hand-in-hand to ensure exporters gain the tools, knowledge, and support needed for sustainable international growth and market entry success.

Adding strength to this partnership is Juan Millán, CEO of Gedeth, who also serves as Chairman and Senior Partner for Spain/Portugal and Central America at IBG Global. Juan’s extensive experience in developing and executing market entry and international growth strategies—including matchmaking, partner sourcing, investment assistance, and site location—makes him a vital bridge between Gedeth and IBG Global’s global network. His leadership helps ensure our clients receive personalized, results-driven trade development support.
