Small businesses, including those run by women and young entrepreneurs, are being hit hardest by the economic fall-out of the pandemic. Unprecedented lockdown measures enacted to contain the spread of the coronavirus have resulted in supply chain disruptions and a massive drop in demand in most sectors.

To continue playing their crucial role in creating decent jobs and improving livelihoods, small businesses depend more than ever on an enabling business environment, including support for access to finance, information, and markets.

Join an online event that will take you on a virtual journey across continents in 90 minutes. More than 40 diverse stakeholders will deliver engaging illustrated testimonials, share immediate responses to the crisis, discuss solutions to mitigate its longer-term effects, and prepare for a ‘new normal.’

The WebTV event will also see the launch of the 2020 edition of ITC’s flagship SME Competitiveness Report: COVID-19: The Great Lockdown and its Impact on Small Business. The new report is packed with brand-new business impact data and unique cutting-edge analysis that will enrich the MSME Day programme.

The event is organized by the International Trade Centre.
