On 27-28 June 2023, Ministers from OECD countries and invited non-OECD economies, alongside partner International Organisations and experts, will gather at the OECD Headquarters in Paris for the first meeting of the OECD Committee on SMEs and Entrepreneurship (CSMEE) at Ministerial Level (Ministerial Meeting). Convened by the OECD, the Ministerial Meeting will be chaired by New Zealand with the active support of Switzerland, France, and guidance from CSMEE Bureau members (Canada, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Republic of Türkiye, United Kingdom). It will coincide with the United Nations Micro Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (MSME) Day and thus strengthen momentum of global discussions about the crucial importance of SMEs and entrepreneurs for the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
