ICSB MSMEs Summit at the United Nations HQ

About the MSMEs Day Knowledge Summit.
On April 6, 2017, The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recognizing the crucial role Micro-, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) play in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Resolution (A/71/L.60) designates June 27 as 'Micro-, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Day.' With support from the ICSB, The Mission of Argentina to the UN authored the resolution, co-sponsored by 45 member states representing over 5 billion people.
Since the adoption of the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals Agenda, all countries have been working for its implementation. MSMEs have the potential to make a long-lasting positive impact on global development needs, as the engine for economic growth and job creation, accounting for two out of three net new jobs created worldwide.
Prince Constantijn Van Oranje, of the Netherlands, joined the ICSB Summit via video and shared his congratulations and support of MSMEs, which form the backbone of the economy and vast majority of companies, yet are widely overlooked due to the lack of a powerful unified lobby. He spoke about his leadership role with StartupDelta, a Dutch independent public-private partnership which promotes and connects startups and MSMEs.
