How DIP Works

From profile to business connection

The process is simple: present your business, explore the market, discover opportunities, connect, and grow.

Using DIP takes five steps: create your free account, build your business profile, explore the market, discover opportunities such as requests for quotation, then connect and grow.

    This gives businesses another way to identify active market demand.

    Respond to Opportunities

    Registered businesses can review relevant requirements and respond when there is a match with their offering.

    This creates a more direct connection between market demand and potential providers.
