With the theme “Negosyo…Kaya Mo!”, the nation observes the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development (MSMED) Week 2009 from July 6-12, 2009.
This in pursuance to the Republic Act 9501, Magna Carta for MSMEs, which aims to inculcate a continuing awareness of the primacy of small business in nation-building and people empowerment.
Various activities across the country will provide existing and potential entrepreneurs with training and development opportunities and create a forum for networking and a sharing of ideas. Events include trade fairs, entrepreneurship briefings/trainings, seminars, and fora which will be undertaken with the assistance of other government agencies and private sector organizations. (DTI)
