The Hub: Empowering Micro and Small Businesses for Sustainable Growth s

At The Innovation Village, we recognize that micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of economic growth and job creation. Through our Small Business Development Centers, we offer comprehensive, innovative support to help these businesses thrive. Our strategy focuses on fostering sustainable, scalable, and investable businesses that can address real market needs and drive long-term impact. 

Our Strategic Approach: From Support to Scale

We believe that a thriving MSME sector requires more than just financial resources—it needs a well-rounded ecosystem. That’s why we take a holistic approach to business development, starting from the ground up:
