ET's commitment to championing the MSME sector through these MSME initiatives spans a year-long endeavour. This initiative includes a series of summits, MSME Day Virtual Conclave, and the ET MSME Awards designed to support, acknowledge, and strengthen the MSME sector across different regions, fostering sustainable growth and development.
The overarching theme for the ET MSME Day Virtual Conclave is ‘Growth and Sustainability in a Turbulent World.’ This theme addresses the challenges businesses face, such as cyclical economic swings, uneven economic growth, climate change, geopolitical risks, and supply chain disruptions. It focuses on exploring opportunities for growth and innovation and providing strategies for small businesses to adapt, succeed, and thrive in evolving economic conditions.
The ET MSME Day Virtual Conclave will cover essential topics such as growth and sustainability, geopolitical risks and supply chain disruptions, opportunities for growth and innovation, Industry 4.0, SME financing, technology adoption, skilling and reskilling, diversity in the MSME sector, and sustainability and green finance. These discussions aim to address challenges, explore opportunities, and promote growth and competitiveness for MSMEs.
The ET MSME Day is taking place in the virtual summit on June 27 i.e. the World MSME Day. MSME Day, or Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day, is celebrated on June 27th each year. This day recognizes the contributions of these enterprises in global economic development and sustainable development goals.
The annual ET MSME Awards ceremony is typically scheduled to take place between the months of August and December. The awards aim to honour businesses and individuals who have demonstrated excellence, innovation, and leadership in various aspects of the MSME ecosystem, including entrepreneurship, sustainability, technology adoption, and community impact.
