Focus area 04 of 10
Access to Finance
Creating awareness about institutional finance, grants, soft loans, investment opportunities and alternative financing mechanisms.
Why it matters
We seek to bridge the gaps between ideas and opportunities, entrepreneurs and finance, enterprises and markets, education and entrepreneurship, and local businesses and global networks.
Micro and small enterprises often face challenges relating to finance, technology, market access, professional guidance, skilled manpower and global connectivity.
