Originated from 2017, Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) Day is observed annually on the 27th June to raise awareness about the important role played by MSMEs in the global economy and to recognize their contribution to sustainable development. This year, it is celebrated under the theme Resilience and Rebuilding to raise awareness of the tremendous contributions of MSMEs to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

European SMEs are the backbone of the EU economy, employing 100 million people and representing 99% of businesses. They contribute over half of Europe's GDP and add value to every sector. SMEs bring innovation to challenges such as climate change, resource efficiency, and social cohesion, and help spread it throughout Europe's regions. They are crucial to the EU's transition to a sustainable and digital economy, playing a key role in driving growth and creating jobs.

Therefore, the European Chamber organizes a webinar titled "HR for SMEs" to mark MSMEs Day. The webinar is aimed at equipping SME owners with insights and strategies on how to efficiently manage their human resources. It will emphasize the challenges faced by SMEs in attracting and retaining talents, identifying and nurturing talents, and creating a conducive work environment. The webinar will provide practical solutions and tips for HR management, which will be intended to empower SMEs to grow and thrive in today's competitive business environment.

These strategies and regulations on renewable and low-carbon energy technologies, raw materials and technologies of the future are likely to result in profound implications on the global supply and value chains while reshaping industries especially high-tech sector such as semiconductors.
What is the global geopolitical and trade outlook look like amid this global industrial strategy race? What are the implications of the varying policy measures on the strategies of multinational companies? As the world is seemingly moving away from globalisation, how will the elevation of industrial strategies impact the liberalisation of global trade?
