Jointly organised by SME Centres and supported by Enterprise Singapore, the SME Centre Conference is an annual event that aims to address some of the challenges faced by the SMEs by bringing together thought leaders and industry experts to share their experiences and provide actionable insights for SMEs.
This year’s conference seeks to inspire SMEs to go global and reach their next level of growth, as they gain insights on how to scale businesses and take the leap into overseas markets. Conference participants will be able to network with close to 1000 SME business leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, and government representatives, and also connect with business advisors and solution providers at an exhibition.
