2. To generate an inclusive, professional export fellowship between exporters and their supporting service providers.
3. To link with and support institutions involved in export education and training.
4. To give recognition to export achievers and in general to promote an export culture.

Exporters Eastern Cape annually undertakes several activities in promoting its aims. These include:

• Monthly meetings and special gatherings conducive to networking, with informative speakers on a variety of export related subjects.
• First-hand contact with government and other officials dealing with industrial development, export promotion, customs administration, port facilities etc.
