Global SME Expo

It was pointed out in the Shanghai Manifesto on Global SME Cooperation that SMEs worldwide need to work together to create a new model for enhanced exchange, cooperation and development among them. Trade organizations from different countries should coordinate their efforts and implement practical and effective cross-border exchange and collaborative measures in the areas of intellectual property, technology transfer, innovation, financing, market development, human resources, and consulting.

To realize this vision, GASME has implemented a plan to hold an annual Global SME Expo. The inaugural expo was successfully held in July of 2009 in Shanghai.
