How access starts, expands and earns trust in Konect Plus.
This page explains the access model of Konect Plus. Entry starts with a reviewed request, approved organisations begin with baseline Free access, Premium expands advanced workflows including Trade access, and trust signals such as Verified or Accreditation remain separate from pricing.
Request reviewed
Access is validated before it is activatedKonect Plus is not an open self-signup product. Join requests are reviewed by Konect first.
Free first
Approved organisations start with baseline accessFree covers initial presence, discovery and basic participation. It does not include Trade execution.
Premium next
Advanced workflows and Trade access come later when relevantPremium unlocks deeper participation, richer publishing, structured responses and access to the Trade layer once fit and entitlement are clear.
Separate trust signals
Verified and Accreditation are not pricing tiersTrust review and chamber or institutional legitimacy remain distinct from the access level itself, including for Trade execution.
Access progression
A clearer way to read the Konect Plus access model.
Reviewed request
The organisation submits a request through Join or enters through a more guided discussion when the chamber or institutional scope is broader.
Controlled entry, not instant activationFree access
Once approved, the organisation starts with baseline visibility, workspace access and simple participation. Free is not a route into Trade execution.
Baseline access, not transaction executionPremium access
Premium expands the product surface when an organisation needs responses, richer publishing, stronger profile depth, broader visibility or Trade access.
Advanced use, still trust-basedWhat Premium adds
Premium expands workflow depth and Trade access, but it does not replace trust or accreditation.
For a member company, Premium can unlock responses to premium opportunities, programme publishing, richer visibility, a video pitch, access to the verification journey and the Trade layer when entitlement and trust are in place. Chambers and institutions can also need broader publishing or operating scope, but the product story should stay grounded in actual usage rather than generic packaging.
Still free
Baseline participation remains available in FreeFree access is designed to support initial participation and visibility without implying access to Trade execution.
Trade
Trade execution is reserved for premium and trusted participantsTrade is an orchestrated Konect layer for qualified commercial handoff. It is not an open marketplace checkout.
Verified
Trust review is separate from the premium tierVerified reflects a KYC or trust process. It should not be presented as a simple paid badge.
Accreditation
Chamber or institutional legitimacy remains its own layerAccreditation expresses ecosystem legitimacy and should remain distinct from both Premium and Verified.
Partner anchors
Chambers and institutions help anchor trustThey support ecosystem legitimacy, reviewed participation and controlled onboarding rather than open self-signup.
Execution boundary
Konect coordinates; it is not a bank, insurer or freight carrierPayment, logistics and insurance partners can be tracked, but regulated execution remains partner-led.
