This MSME Day 2022 hybrid event, "Resilience and Rebuilding: MSMEs for sustainable development at the forefront of building back better and stronger from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis and conflicts" focuses on how purpose-driven MSMEs and social entrepreneurship are at the center of contributing to inclusive growth, combating inequalities and building back better and stronger, especially during challenging times. Entrepreneurs' adaptability and resilience have aided in responding to economic shocks, increasing the participation of women, youth and other disadvantaged groups part in the local, national and global economy.
The event will feature micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises, including women and youth-led social start-ups, alongside global leaders to highlight progress, gaps and challenges that MSMEs and entrepreneurs continue to encounter, undermining their contributions to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs.
