Wusme believes in SMEs
SMEs matter for a sustainable, inclusive and smart development worldwide

Micro, small and medium enterprises and crafts (SMEs) play a crucial role in global development, because when they succeed, everyone benefits: there is greater economic opportunity, social wealth and poverty alleviation.

If we support SMEs, we improve the world.
We strongly believe that SMEs and crafts are to play a key role in our future, because they have proven to be:

Keystone of the economy
SMEs and the crafts are the foundation of the economic and social system in any society.

Effective means for smart, inclusive and sustainable growth
SMEs and crafts are an effective means to carry out a economic democracy and sustainable development.

Driving force for greater occupation and reduced migration
SMEs and crafts are important, in each community, to achieve sustainable job creation and therefore poverty and migration reduction.

Foundation for a “human scale” environment and society
SMEs and crafts represent the real “Human scale” environment, a social reality that strives for the protection and cohesion of the family, as heart of a society based on strong principles of equality, fairness, freedom, security and peace.

Catalyst for generating social wealth
SMEs and crafts are the assets of any society to generate not only economic, but also and above all, social wealth.
