On June 27, 2019, we celebrate the third anniversary of the International Day of Micro-, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. The entrepreneurship community in general, and we at the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) in particular, are grateful to the United Nations (UN) for agreeing to create this special day. It strengthens our commitment and provides an additional means of communication to help reach the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
This paper is intended for entrepreneurs throughout the world, in developed and less developed countries, and especially for new venture creators. Recognition of the importance of MSMEs in the development of societies implicitly includes recognition of the role played by entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs make a difference in people’s lives. The products and services they develop influence the way people live, their quality of life and the evolution of their societies.
We were asked to share some of the lessons learned from enterprises in our regional environments.
