The Institute for the Promotion of Small and Medium Enterprises (IPEME), in partnership with the Trade Facilitation Office (TFO) Canada, held a ceremony in Maputo on Tuesday, to launch the second phase of the Trade for Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth (TRISEG) project.

The launch brought together various stakeholders to discuss the strengthening and development of MSMEs in Mozambique.
Running for five years (2025–2030), the TRISEG project aims to support 200 MSMEs in Mozambique, 67% of which will be owned or led by women and under-represented groups. Its activities cover business development, export readiness, digitalisation, access to finance and enhanced climate resilience.
The Trade for Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth (TRISEG) project aims to strengthen cooperation between IPEME and TFO Canada to support the development of Mozambican MSMEs, focusing on business expansion, access to new markets and greater competitiveness in international trade.
