Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day in 2023

Tuesday, Jun 27

Days to go:

Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) Day aims at recognizing the significant contributions of these businesses to the global economy. MSMEs are integral to job creation, innovation, and promoting both social cohesion and economic development. This day pays tribute to the resilience of these enterprises and raises awareness for the need to continue supporting them, especially in light of the challenges they face, such as access to funding, changing market conditions, and regulatory requirements.

This international event was first established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2017, in acknowledgment of the crucial role MSMEs play in the global economy. For Americans, the day signifies the importance of supporting local businesses, as they contribute considerably to the U.S. economy, creating nearly two-thirds of net new private sector jobs and driving innovation and competitiveness. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there are 31.7 million small businesses in the country, making up 99.9% of all U.S. businesses.

In America, Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day is observed with various events, seminars, and workshops geared towards supporting the growth and development of these businesses. Organizations, such as local chambers of commerce and economic development agencies, play an integral role in promoting and organizing events that focus on MSMEs. The observance takes place on June 27 each year, shedding light on the importance of these enterprises and encouraging communities to support them, thus securing their role in promoting a sustainable and inclusive economy.
