It organises specialised training/awareness programmes, seminars, workshops for export executives and entrepreneurs with the objective to develop entrepreneurship in international trade.

Internationally, FIEO establishes MoUs with counterpart organisations, arranges exhibitions and catalog shows. It is a partner of the Enterprise Europe Network. A month news magazine is published about trade and commerce, with worldwide readership among exporters and importers, international agencies, policy makers, and other stakeholders.

The application gives the users access to FIEO's monthly and weekly publications, event calendar, online event registration, information articles, press releases, research publications, and other important announcements. Members can create a company profile on the application, and receive daily updates on policy, preferential tariff, MFN status, SPS / TBT measures, identify tariff lines, applicable GST rates, export incentives, and more.[4][5]
