The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting, to be held in the Swiss town of Davos from 15 to 20 January 2023, will stress the need for big businesses to support SMEs in creating economic growth and meeting the net zero targets. The WEF meeting will emphasize that SMEs are the bedrock of developed and developing economies and should be at the heart of economic growth strategies for most emerging markets striving to climb the development curve. The meeting will also put SMEs at the heart of any discussion on climate, as their combined carbon footprint is five times greater than large corporations.
