In her speech, WUSME President remarked how SMEs are an important part of the economy in every country of the world. “In particular – WUSME President said- we must also consider women and young enterprises. Thanks to the support of its network and opportunity for exchange between the different countries, WUSME is voice of SMEs to Institutions worldwide, to share ideas and promote best practices”.

Dr. Pauline Crawford focused her speech stating: “I am here today to represent the Permanent Commission of WUSME for Women Entrepreneurship. On behalf of WUSME, we investigated what was happening in the last COVID years in India, Africa and Asean countries. Some of the problems are similar. Women have to deal with many very facets of business and life. There is a financial and a business issue obviously, but there is always also a social issue. The ability to share is really important. WUSME is also looking at education for women entrepreneurs across the world, because education is essential for them. Women are extremely talented, have incredible natural skills for business, that maybe are underestimated”.
