VIJAYAWADA: Vizag is set to become the epicentre of global trade for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as it hosts the MSME Export Development Convention 2025 on November 9–10 at Fairfield by Marriott.
The event, organised by the AP MSME Development Corporation (APMSMEDC) under the Reverse Buyer-Seller Meet (RBSM) initiative of the Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) Scheme, is held in collaboration with the India SME Forum.
