ITC Global SME Ministerial Community - Knowledge Sharing Platform
1/6 - 7/15/2027 Geneve
Global SME Ministerial Community Platform
The Global SME Ministerial Community Platform serves as the collaborative backbone of the SME Ministerial process. It brings together participating countries through structured exchanges, documented policy insights, peer learning, and the dissemination of best practices.
The platform supports the shared objective of strengthening SME policies and improving outcomes across the three pillars of the Call to Action - digital transformation, access to finance, and green transition.
By connecting high-level political dialogue with ongoing technical engagement, the platform ensures that SME Ministerial commitments are translated into practical, evidence-based knowledge that can be applied by governments, trade promotion and business support organizations, and SME ecosystems at national, regional, and global levels.
Working Together for SME Impact
Sharing Best Practices
Sharing best practices on SME development enables countries to identify, document, and exchange proven policies, programmes, and implementation approaches that have delivered tangible results for small and medium-sized enterprises. This process helps transform successful national and regional experiences into practical reference points that can be adapted to different contexts.
Peer Learning and Exchange
Peer learning and exchange provides a structured space for countries to learn directly from one another through dialogue, experience sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. It encourages open discussion on policy design, implementation challenges, and lessons learned in supporting SME development.
Dialogue and Cooperation
Dialogue and cooperation provide a continuous forum for high-level political engagement and practical collaboration among countries. Through regular consultations, regional and global meetings, and thematic discussions, countries align priorities, share perspectives, and build consensus on key issues affecting SME development. This ongoing dialogue fosters stronger cooperation across borders, encouraging joint initiatives, coordinated policy approaches, and partnerships between governments.
