Jun. 26–Zana Network said it is launching a new networking portal that will connect small and medium businesses around the world with financing, sales and partnership opportunities.

The Farmington Hills-based business-to-business networking portal will allow members to post and view sales opportunities from other small businesses in more than 100 countries.

The initial Web launch takes place today.

Zana Network is a subscription-based service, with complete access to the ZANA community, sales opportunities and services discounts requiring a monthly membership fee of $40. Members registering by July 15 will receive a 30-day free trial, compliments of the companies which are providing member services. Basic business information will be available to site visitors at no cost.

Michigan entrepreneurs also can participate in a meet-and-greet with company founder and Chief Executive Officer Howard Keating at the company’s headquarters from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
