Baku. Victoria Dementieva â€“ APA. A seminar on marketing is being held within the Special American Business Internship Training (SABIT). Contemporary marketing, branding, market segmentation and the role of marketing in business analysis were discussed in the seminar. 24 participants attended the seminar.

USAID/Azerbaijan Mission Director Michael Greene made a speech in the seminar and said that participation in the seminar will support economic reforms in the country. He said that the USAID actively cooperate with 24 ministries and state bodies for reforms in Azerbaijan in relation to membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO). According to him, sometimes this process goes on quickly. He highly praised the order of Head of State Ilham Aliyev about application of law on ensuring the intellectual property rights.

The Special American Business Internship Training (SABIT) program builds partnerships and provides technical assistance by training Eurasian business leaders on the U.S. business practices. These training programs, begun in the early 1990s as a way to promote the relations with the Soviet Union, directly support Eurasian economic and civil society development by encouraging market-based reforms, while generating valuable export and investment opportunities for U.S. industry.

SABIT helps American organizations create new relationships and strengthen existing ties with Eurasian partners and customers from each of the former Soviet republics.
