MSEM Roadshow In Its Final Lap
posted (October 25, 2024)
The MSME Roadshow is like a Grateful Dead tour - it just keeps rolling on. The first National MSME Roadshow in Belize began on August 5, 2022 and they're still going.

But, when we met them today at the ITVET in Belize City, we learned that they are on the last lap:

Monique Usher, Deputy Executive Director, Beltraide
"The office of the Prime Minister held the first national MSME roadshow. And so 2024, this is the final stop of the MSME roadshow. We visited 11 different locations. And so today we have the formalization clinic for the city stop. So we have our partners which include the Social Security Board, B car, we had Atlantic Bank, we had IDB, and other agencies, you know, showcasing the different services that they have to offer to MSMEs and the wider public."

"Tomorrow we have the closure for the national MSME Road Show, which is an expo that we're doing in participation with the City Council. So we're joining them for their super sale, and of course, will be having a MSMEs that participated in day one, which was the boot camp, showcasing their different products and services, downtown Belize City, and of course, we also have a couple MSMEs that have been traveling with us throughout the country, showcasing their their business."

"Where will the expo be and what time?"

Monique Usher
"The expo will be in the Battlefield Park downtown Belize City. It starts at nine and it wraps up at 6 p.m.. We will have entertainment and also, you know, the MSMEs selling their products. So we invite the public out. You get an opportunity to see some of the new innovative products that are on the market that you can, you know, patronize."

The MSME Strategy goes until 2025.
