With GS1 standards\/code your products can easily be sold anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"   class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1329\"   src=\"https:\/\/aimp-wp-docker.ddev.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CALB1754-edited-300x200-1.jpg\"   alt=\"\"   width=\"300\"   height=\"200\"   srcset=\"https:\/\/aipi.rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CALB1754-edited-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aipi.rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CALB1754-edited-300x200-1-18x12.jpg 18w\"   sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoad to GS1 Rwanda\u201d setup is in progress, so far we had two workshops with more than 40 companies from different categories in Rwanda (Product exporters, manufacturers, producers, and Government institutions), Represented companies included Inyange, Sorwathe, Magerwa, Pharmalab, SawaCiti, RDB etc&#8230; The first \u201cRoad to GS1 Rwanda\u201d workshop in November 2021 was mainly about general knowledge of GS1 and technical aspects of GS1 standards while the second workshop was about building up the first task forces to now concretely start the process of becoming the Rwandan GS1 member organization of GS1 Global.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"   class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1332\"   src=\"https:\/\/aimp-wp-docker.ddev.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CALB9804-edited-300x200-1.jpg\"   alt=\"\"   width=\"300\"   height=\"200\"   srcset=\"https:\/\/aipi.rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CALB9804-edited-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aipi.rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CALB9804-edited-300x200-1-18x12.jpg 18w\"   sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The next steps after these workshops are community breakfasts organized by AIPI in which the flagships and interested companies can get together to work out a business plan and a legal entity.
