    Overview

    ITC @ STI Forum 2022: Connecting the Unconnected - The role of MSMES for inclusive digital transformation in Africa

    As seen during Covid-19, digital connectivity is critical to the resilience and competitiveness of micro-, small and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs), and is an important element to inclusive sustainable growth. MSMEs drive new job creation in developing countries, making them important agents of sustainable development. This discussion will explore the connectivity bottlenecks that MSMEs face, and the solutions and policy changes needed to enable a truly inclusive digital transformation.

    This session is part of the 7th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals, led by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
