SMEs

On the frontline of today’s digital transformation, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the engine of the global economy.  SMEs are especially driving innovation in new applications and services which are addressing challenges in areas such as health, finance, education and more. ITU gives SMEs a seat at the table and an opportunity to shape the future of the digital economy.

SMEs can participate either as Sector Members or Associates in any of ITU’s three Sectors. ITU has reduced fees for SMEs that wish to participate as an Associate. To be eligible for these reduced fees, companies must be approved by their respective Member State as meeting national criteria for an SME. In addition, companies must also have fewer than 250 employees as well as annual revenues below a maximum of CHF 15 million.
