  • Working with IBEX Production through the Global Marketplace was an outstanding experience for Generations Calgary. They took our old footage and skillfully crafted a powerful, engaging promotional video that told our story with heart and clarity. Their responsiveness, speed, and flexibility made the entire process seamless. What truly stood out was their willingness to go above and beyond—offering guidance and support to help us improve our future content creation.

 FAQs

  • The Global Marketplace is an initiative supported by the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and the Aga Khan Economic Planning Boards (AKEPBs) in Canada, US, UK, Pakistan, and India. It connects businesses globally with professional service contractors in India, Pakistan, and beyond.  The platform’s vision is to create mutual value for both businesses and contractors by providing businesses with access to trusted, cost-effective services while creating work and income opportunities for young women and men in remote or marginalized communities. 

  • While platforms like Upwork and Fiverr connect a wide array of contractors and businesses, the Global Marketplace was specifically designed to address key market failures that limit the effectiveness of open platforms. Our model provides a distinct value proposition for businesses by focusing on the following areas: 

    • A Trusted Network of Agencies & Experts: While large platforms offer a vast selection, it can be time-consuming for businesses to sort through them. We have already done that work for you. Contractor agencies on our platform undergo structured screening and technical interviews before being onboarded. This provides you with a reputable network of contractor agencies that can deliver projects with quality, reliability, and expertise. 

    • Enhanced Matching and Support: We address the common challenge of finding a strong match by providing hands-on support, which is a service not typically offered on large online platforms. A dedicated representative works with you to understand your needs and facilitate introductions with high-quality talent. 

    • Generating Clear Cost Savings: In response to increasing and global competitive business pressure and high inflation, accessing competitively priced professional services is vital for sustaining profit margins. Our model is designed to help your business generate cost savings while securing best-in-class services. 

    • A Mission of Mutual Value: Our vision is to build a thriving marketplace that creates mutually reinforcing value for both businesses and contractors. By engaging with the Global Marketplace, your business benefits from competitive rates, and in parallel, you contribute to generating sustainably enhanced livelihoods for contractors and their families. 

  • No platform usage fee is charged for businesses, agencies, or contractors.  

  • Quality assurance is primarily the responsibility of businesses and the contractors they engage in the marketplace. However, the Global Marketplace conducts structured screening and technical interviews with all contractor agencies before they join the platform. The selected contractor agency is then responsible for the quality control of the services provided. Businesses are ultimately responsible for conducting their own due diligence and selecting the agency that best meets their needs, before starting a transaction.
