Structured Learning Visit cum Business Matching along the North-South Economic Corridor : NSEC (R3A & R3B)

Event Details:

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) constitute a large share of enterprises along the North-South Economic Corridor (NSEC). They are the major sources of employment and income in the provinces/cities along the corridor. However, SMEs need to be more competitive to survive and grow in the present liberalized and digital era. One main reason for SMEs’ non-competitiveness nature is their inability to access and analyze right kind of information for business decision-making.
