Empowering Tomorrow’s Innovators: Unlock your potential as a game-changing entrepreneur!

FCEF welcomed the transition of its Young Entrepreneurs Council to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Council (MSME), and launch of its new logo on June 29th 2024

The Federation is thrilled to have an MSME Council, which reinforces its commitment to supporting and nurturing the MSME community. FCEF is always ready and willing to work with MSMEs to help them grow and make a difference.

This change represents an expanded commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and enhancing the work that FCEF does in the MSME sector.

Their contributions are essential as we strive to create more opportunities for MSMEs in Fiji.

What We Do

Innovatively influence policies to support potential and existing MSMEs in Fiji.
This by allowing access to information, resources and reduce barriers that constrain business development and employment creation process.

The intent behind the formation of MSME is to establish a council that could pave the way for aspiring entrepreneurs and MSMEs.
