Innovation
- transformation of knowledge into commercial
products or services - has become a key paradigm
for the sustainable development and growth
of SMEs in the wake of rapid globalization
of technologies as well as economies. Intense
competition and shrinking life-span of products
are catalyzing the process and pace of innovation.
“Innovate or Vanish” is the new
mantra of the New Economy.
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
in the Asia-Pacific region have to gear up
and be up-to-date with various issues concerning
innovation and innovation management. In cooperation
with the Asia-Pacific countries, APCTT develops
and implements national and international
programmes for building national capabilities
to assist entrepreneurs and SMEs in the area
of :
