The Conference was divided into four sessions that primarily discussed development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and Start Ups. The conference aimed at facilitating exchange of knowledge, experience and good business practice among research and business communities, which is expected to contribute to increasing economic growth and job creation in developing countries.
Speakers and participants acknowledged the importance of digital literacy, particularly digital marketing, for MSME actors. Capacity-building activity, establishment of technology transfer information centre and regulation for Start Ups could help answering challenges facing MSMEs.
