Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) have a significant impact on the global economy, playing a crucial role in driving innovation, job creation, and sustainable development. World MSME Day provides a platform to recognize and celebrate the remarkable impact of MSMEs worldwide.
Contribute of MSMEs to the global economy:
Job Creation: MSMEs are major contributors to employment generation, particularly in developing economies. They serve as engines of job creation, offering opportunities for self-employment and livelihoods. MSMEs often have a high labor absorption capacity, providing employment to a significant portion of the workforce, including vulnerable groups such as women, youth, and marginalized communities.
Economic Growth: MSMEs are vital for fostering economic growth and driving GDP expansion. They contribute to both local and national economies through their production, manufacturing, and service activities. MSMEs foster entrepreneurship, enhance productivity, and stimulate competition, leading to overall economic development and diversification.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship: MSMEs are hotbeds of innovation and entrepreneurial activity. They have the agility and flexibility to adapt quickly to market demands, leading to the development of new products, services, and business models. MSMEs often bring fresh ideas, disruptive technologies, and creative solutions to the market, fueling innovation ecosystems and driving economic progress.
Local and Regional Development: MSMEs play a pivotal role in fostering local and regional development. They contribute to balanced regional growth by promoting industrialization, reducing regional disparities, and creating economic opportunities in rural and underserved areas. MSMEs often form clusters, leading to the development of industrial estates and localized supply chains, which further stimulate economic activities.
Social Impact and Inclusion: MSMEs contribute to social development by promoting inclusivity and providing opportunities to marginalized groups. They enable women, youth, and disadvantaged communities to participate in economic activities, empowering them and contributing to poverty alleviation and social upliftment. MSMEs also support community development initiatives, philanthropy, and corporate social responsibility.
Global Trade and Export Potential: MSMEs play a crucial role in international trade and export growth. They are often the backbone of a country’s export sector, contributing to foreign exchange earnings and expanding market access. MSMEs that engage in cross-border trade contribute to economic integration, promote international cooperation, and enhance global competitiveness.
The impact of MSMEs is far-reaching, touching various aspects of the global economy, society, and sustainable development. World MSME Day celebrates the vital role of MSMEs and provides a platform to recognize their contributions. By supporting and empowering MSMEs, we can harness their potential to create a more inclusive, resilient, and prosperous global economy.

We underestimated the amount of traffic the show would draw because, in contract to all the other exhibitors, our business is still relatively new. We barely had time to look around the other exhibitors because things were so busy!
Having so many prospects, walk-ins who ask about our services makes this event very topical. There has been great interest in our services during the first half day of the event, and we are delighted.
The event was well organized and the target of participants attending the event are relevant and well selected. Businesses can share their plans with us and that leads to our main purpose – generating potential leads and contacts. This show exceeded my expectations, and I am thankful to the organisers for allowing me to exhibit and manning it on my own. Throughout the event, I never felt like I was alone as I have forged new friends and made connections. Thank you for creating such an amazing event and we will be there again next year!
