ASEAN SME LANDSCAPE
1
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often form the
backbone of many modern economies, serving as an important
vector of these nations’ economic progress. Research shows that
SMEs represent more than 90% of all business establishments in
almost every country. Hence, they are certainly a key determinant
of a nation’s economic performance. In addition, SMEs are
playing an ever-increasing role in innovation, and spurring rapid
technological advancement across the world.
The growth trajectory of SMEs is undeniably optimistic, but there
are also many hurdles impeding the sector from reaching its full
economic potential. The World Bank estimates that SMEs contribute
an average 51.5% of GDP in high income countries, but only 15.6%
in low income countries. In ASEAN, SMEs constitute between 95%
to 99% of all companies across the ASEAN economies but only
contributing between 23% to 58% to the GDP, and make up only
10%-30% of the exports of ASEAN member states.
This data elucidates a clear sign of low productivity amongst
SMEs in certain regions, and there is an urgent need to step up
effort in areas where SMEs are stifled by challenges such as
regulatory barriers, unskilled workforce, limited funding options,
and poor access to technology.
11TH WIEF SMEBUSINESS PAVILION

With the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) coming into effect by end
2015, the 11th WIEF SME Business Pavilion aims to mobilise expertise from
all around the world to help the SME community in Southeast Asia
capitalise on the growth prospects. The platform will offer valuable
industry insights and technical assistance for the SME community to make
the best out of the various trade financing options, galvanise ideas to
increase their innovation capacity, and develop defining strategies to
transform their business into high-performing firms.
SMEs outside of ASEAN are also welcome to join this effort of the 11th
WIEF SME Business Pavilion in creating a strong and robust network
where all SMEs can exchange viewpoints, gather support, and foster
strategic business cooperation. With such a large gathering of
like-minded people, the Pavilion is poised to serve as an important
networking opportunity for SMEs to extend their reach beyond their
local boundaries. It certainly is an ideal platform for business owners to
foster cross-border collaborations and increase their competitiveness in
the international market.
