On the 12th & 13th December 2008, Milagrow Business and Knowledge Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is hosting India's first truly global World SME Conference at the Le Meridien, New Delhi.
Speaking on the timing of the conference, Mr. Rajeev Karwal, Founder Director, Milagrow Business and Knowledge Solutions said “We planned this conference about a year ago but there can be no better time than the current macro and micro economic environment in which the SMEs are operating.” The conference will highlight the issues of SMEs from across the globe and share best practices.
The Ministry of MSME fully supports the event. Speaking on the conference Mr. Dinesh Rai, Secretary, Ministry of MSME said “MSME development is one of key imperatives for long term Economic Growth. Even though many programmes, facilities and incentives have been rolled out for the MSME sector, there is a vast scope of further improvement.
More path-breaking solutions are needed to extract the maximum out of the current investments in the MSME Sector. World SME Conference is an excellent platform that would enable MSMEs, government and private bodies to discuss and debate new strategies for the development of MSMEs in India.”
