🖥️ Pivoting into e-commerce and social media promotion helped #BusinessHeroes like @BiggsDiner CEO Carlo Buenaflor stay in business.

☀️ Staying positive also was essential ▶️ https://t.co/ZIbUTqfjee

💼 #Business continuity remains under threat for many #entrepreneurs due to #COVID19.

👩🏿‍💼 #BusinessHereoes like @PatriciaGieskes tried to see the opportunities in these difficult moments ▶️ https://t.co/hMC6G2tRtB

DDG Ellard cites importance of business engagement with the WTO https://t.co/y3aVP1AkVQ

[IOE @ioevoice]

#B20 Indonesia Chair Shinta Kamdani highlighted the important role of the #Business Coalition and said #trade rules should be made with a mindset to achieve economic inclusivity, better distribution of income & #SustainableDevelopment with #employment one of the key factors.

[IOE @ioevoice]

"The potential of #trade for a job-rich #recovery requires full engagement of the #PrivateSector as the main source of jobs. This Coalition is a clear commitment from #business for #recovery, building forward better & leveraging all that @WTO represents", says @parmeleemichele

[IOE @ioevoice]

At the launch of our #Business Coalition, Executive Secretary of the Brazilian Ministry of Labour @BDalcolmo says #trade does not do wonders alone; a successful country needs, beyond openness of trade, a stable, modern and rational economic environment.

[IOE @ioevoice]

During the launch of our Business Coalition for #Trade, @WTO Deputy DG Angela Ellard says trade can be a powerful #recovery method; trade increases job opportunities and raises living standards. She also highlights the importance of the #business role in WTO's reform.

🤔 Rethink, reassess and become #resilient: this is the mantra #BusinessHeroes had to follow to survive the economic impact of the #pandemic and plan ahead.

For the printing company Ambrosoli Wonders, this was an opportunity to make some changes 👉🏿 https://t.co/8VSnCvAy73

😷 In these troubled times, it is critical for #BusinessHeroes to remember why they launched their business.

What helped @PixedCorp's owner Ricardo Rodríguez to keep going was remembering its purpose: his commitment towards #DisabilityInclusion ⏩ https://t.co/n5b505bs86

[IOE @ioevoice]

😷 #BusinessHeroes like @BiggsDiner's CEO Carlo Buenaflor made the pandemic pivot. His small diner had to become a frozen food service.

For many #SmallBusiness owners, pivoting to new opportunities was the only way to survive the #COVID19 lockdowns ➡️ https://t.co/kL29vTCAP9

[IOE @ioevoice]

Politicians talk about the importance of small & medium-sized #businesses, but the goodwill fails to translate into concrete actions.

🇺🇬 For #BusinessHeroes like @BiocoreL, this lack of support makes it much harder to succeed as an #entrepreneur 👉🏿 https://t.co/MlA9Ufh5yT
