WUSME’s mission is to represent, support and protect the rights and interests of SMEs and the craft sector in the world.
WUSME was founded in 2010, under the auspices of the Government and Public Institutions of the Republic of San Marino and the participation of Delegates coming from 53 countries.
First Founders of WUSME are, indeed, a qualified group of Entrepreneurs from San Marino from UNAS, the National Craftsmen Union of San Marino, committed to create an organization to be referent point for small enterprises, a place for fruitful exchange of knowledge and experience, a tool for boosting stronger international cooperation.
The roots of the Association in the Republic of San Marino are connected to the country’s economy, strongly based on the historical development of Crafts and Small Enterprises closely tied to the territory. Tradition attributes to a Dalmatian Stonemason Marino the Foundation of this Republic, the oldest one in the world.
For the same reason, the WUSME logo has been designed to incorporate and combine all the elements defining its IDENTITY, with a HEART in the REPUBLIC OF SAN MARINO and a BREATH that reaches THE WORLD, reflecting its strong INTERNATIONAL VOCATION. The oval shape, featuring three points that represent the three towers of San Marino, encloses the globe—symbolizing this very mission.
