Access to skills is a critical element for SMEs to succeed, in addition to access to finance and access to markets. Especially in this age of rapid technological evolutions and global disruptions, it’s important that financial sector stakeholders play an important role in building skills of SMEs making them future ready and resilient to external shocks. Hence SME Finance Forum’s “The Non-Financial Services Innovation Hub” will serve as a collaborative platform to gather insights, share experiences, and replicate global best practices. This solutions clinic would focus on key case studies as well as 5 key problem statements which participants would engage actively to solve. These contributions will also inform the development of a dynamic Best Practice Guide - an adaptable resource capturing proven strategies, success stories, and practical recommendations for implementing NFS across diverse ecosystems.
