In collaboration with SME Digital Academy,
to offer free access to MSMEs courses

To highlight the enormous contributions made by MSMEs to the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 27 as "Micro-, Small-, and Medium-sized Enterprises Day" (A/RES/71/279) (SDGs).

90% of enterprises, 60 to 70% of jobs, and 50% of global GDP are MSMEs. As the foundation of all societies, they support livelihoods and local and national economies, particularly for the working poor, women, young people, and vulnerable groups.

As a result of this SME Digital Academy, more jobs will be generated, resulting in more income for houses and families, and many more areas will enjoy an economic boom as a result of our efforts to educate, empower, and uplift our MSMEs on financial literacy.

Welcome to the SME Digital Academy!
