The two-day festivities will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will involve conduct of various demo-skills and business management training programs.
With the theme, “Strengthening MSMEs Participation in the Global and Regional Trade,” the event’s main objective is to enhance the operational capabilities of MSMEs, expose them to current business trends, and improve their skills to compete in local and global markets.
