Micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises are the lifeblood of every community and key drivers of sustainable development at local level. For them to succeed and gain access to the global economy they need to be future-ready through the adoption of new technologies, sustainable and innovative practices and resilient strategies to navigate today’s economic landscape and seize emerging opportunities.
The Empretec Global Network supports MSMEs and start-ups in their development, spotlighting the importance of creating conducive business ecosystems where these enterprises can access education, funding, talent, innovation and peer-to-peer networks to scale up.
This event will bring together representatives from international organizations, the public sector, industry experts, tech pioneers and future-driven thought leaders to explore the best strategies for MSMEs to thrive and discuss the design of supportive business environments. It will focus on the need for small businesses to digitalize, the up-skilling and re-skilling of MSMEs, women entrepreneurs in the logistic sector and innovative financing for MSMEs.
The United Nations General Assembly designated 27 June as International MSME Day to acknowledge the importance of micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises for every economy and their critical role in driving economic growth and sustainable development.
