Small and Medium Enterprise Focus: Strengthening SMEs in a Digitalized World

Technological Innovation is the key driver for SME growth. No matter how small the SME
maybe it has access to the world market due to globalization and e-commerce. Companies
such as Alibaba & Amazon provide platforms for SMEs to access the world markets.
