Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a key role in ensuring economic growth in a sustainable and inclusive manner. They are often the source of innovative ICT-enabled solutions that make a long-lasting impact in global, regional and national economies, and are an important source of new jobs especially for youth. SMEs make up more than 95% of all businesses worldwide, and represent a path out of poverty for many developing countries.
ITU, which brings together more than 700 Sector Members and Associates from industry, international and regional organizations, as well as academia, provides a unique, trusted and global multi-stakeholder platform for partners from the public and private sectors to address major ICT issues.
ITU is committed to become a platform that contributes towards scaling up innovation and building an enabling environment for SMEs. Therefore, the organization is actively working on developing initiatives that help create synergies in ICT entrepreneurship.
