Empowering MSMEs for a safer future
Empowering safe industrial practices starts with education, dialogue, and alignment between academia, industry, and policy — creating safer workplaces and a more scientifically engaged society.
Indian Micro, Small and Medium (MSMEs) contribute significantly to the country's economy, accounting for nearly 30% of the GDP and employing over 110 million people.
On October 10, 2025, this pivotal summit, through expert insights, collaborative dialogue, and actionable strategies, aims to advance health and safety standards across India’s chemical MSMEs—key drivers of the nation’s economy.
