working in the business sector and project development will take part in the
summit, the first of its kind, which is organized by the United Nations
Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (
ESCWA) in cooperation with the
Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation (JEDCO) and brings together official
and private entities in various Arab countries to help Arab SMEs access
regional and international markets.
The summit also
aims to mobilize diverse financial resources, benefit from regional and
international networks and increase their ability to scale up after facing
challenges in the past years, according to a
JEDCO statement.
The summit,
which is expected to draw a number of directors of international and regional
institutions, serves as a platform for local and international decision makers
from the public and private sectors to draw up comprehensive policies and
strategies required to boost Arab SMEs.
The summit’s key
themes focus on opportunities beyond borders, and will tackle different
subjects over three days, including market access opportunities, global value
chains, financial opportunities, green growth, digitalization and innovation.
ESCWA sent invitations
to about 600 participants from various
Arab countries and international
institutions, including entrepreneurs, investors, business influencers,
political leaders, economists, journalists, intergovernmental organizations,
non-governmental organizations, and donors to discuss regional and
international opportunities for Arab SMEs through 20 main sessions and 10
workshops.
