The program aims to provide free training to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Pakistan, helping them expand their businesses and adapt to modern requirements through digital and AI-powered tools.

Through this initiative, over one thousand SMEs across the country will receive capacity-building support. Women-led businesses and entrepreneurs have especially been encouraged to apply.
