This high-level ministerial dialogue forms part of the broader global SME Ministerial agenda, which brings together governments from around the world to advance practical solutions for SME development and economic growth. Against a backdrop of rapid technological change, evolving trade dynamics, and shifting economic priorities, ministers will share perspectives on the policy reforms, strategic investments, and public-private partnerships needed to help SMEs innovate, access finance, strengthen their competitiveness, and expand into new markets. The discussion will explore how countries are translating national SME priorities into action while contributing to a shared global agenda that recognizes SMEs as a cornerstone of productivity, resilience, and inclusive economic development.
