Across emerging and middle-income economies, many small businesses remain underrepresented in supply chains and markets, particularly those owned by women and operating in post-crisis contexts. While entrepreneurial activity is often high in vulnerable communities, access to contracts, export markets, and procurement systems remains uneven.

The conversation will feature Bora Arıcan (Building Markets Türkiye) and Selen Ucak (Refugee Investment Network), with welcome remarks by Wissam Akra (ToughLeaf) and Elizabeth Brown (Building Markets). Together, we will examine the barriers small businesses face in supply chains and the role of digital verification, matchmaking tools, and ESOs in building markets that work for all.

Space is limited. Please RSVP by Thursday, March 5th.
