SME Conference is a joint initiative by University of Management and Technology (UMT) and Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA), Govt. of Pakistan.

Following the success of the 1st and 2nd SME conference, the 3rd International SME Conference is planned to be held on 25th and 26th April 2018 in Lahore. The conference went international in 2017 but this time, we plan to dial it up a notch by bringing together International SME representative bodies from developed and developing countries, academia, government departments, international development agencies, financial institutions, large scale enterprises, and researchers. It will highlight the challenges and prospects of SME sector regarding entrepreneurship and will also stress upon the idea of using economic integration to achieve sustainable development. The conference will furnish declarations for all stakeholders, in general; and policy makers in particular.
