The Casablanca Park of Exhibitions hosts on May 29-30 the International forum for the very small Businesses.
Small businesses are characterized by a reduced number of employees, a small capital and asset availability.
“This forum will be an opportunity for the participants and visitors to discuss the latest managerial approaches relevant to this kind of enterprises,” the president of the forum, Ms. Amal Cherif Houwat, was quoted by the daily Al Massae as saying.
The forum aims at initiating a new platform of exchange among economic partners and different stakeholders both in the private and the public sectors.
The forum is also an opportunity to exhibit all the services and activities related to small enterprises. The venue constitutes also an unprecedented chance for the participants to set partnerships with other small and medium enterprises.
Ms. Houwat mentioned a number of problems plaguing small businesses in Morocco, namely the lack of monitoring and training that may boost their performance and help them to cope with a high competitive market.
Ms. Houwat added that the participants will have the chance to explore new experiences in the world in the management of very small enterprises.
Many sectors will take part in this event including, digital technologies, traditional industry, industry and media. The forum is expected to receive 5000 visitors with the participation of more than 200 experts and 50 exhibitors.
