The SME Foundation is an independent center of excellence created and generously capitalized by the Government of Bangladesh.
The
SME Foundation is playing its role in helping the SME entrepreneurs
including the women entrepreneurs by conducting various programs with an
aim to develop the SMEs of Bangladesh. One of the major aims of SMEF is
to bring the grassroots entrepreneurs into the main stream of economic
development through employment generation, reduction of social
discrimination and poverty alleviation.
SMEs
are recognized as engine of economic growth and employment generation
for sustainable industrialization in both developed and developing
countries of the world. In context of Bangladesh, there is no
alternative of small and medium enterprises for rapid industrialization
and national economic growth through lower capital investment and
employment generation.
