The event featured first-hand insight from the Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs) initiative on how micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are driving sustainable development in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America. Experts will present available tools, knowledge and services that can support a green recovery, and will highlight critical gaps in essential support for MSMEs.

The event also served to announce the winners of the 2021 SEED Awards for Entrepreneurship in Sustainable Development, which recognizes outstanding eco-inclusive enterprises in Asia and Africa.
