Last update: 8 hours ago

SME Policy Push (China): China’s Vice-Premier Zhang Guoqing told APEC SME ministers that Beijing is ready to help more Asia-Pacific SMEs grow, unveiling an AI empowerment cooperation center in Guangzhou and an SME cooperation zone in Shenzhen to speed “small, fast, lightweight and precise” digital tools. SME Cooperation (APEC): The meeting framed AI and digital upgrading as the main lever for SME upgrading across APEC economies, with a focus on secure, trustworthy deployment. Cross-Border Payments (UAE): XTransfer secured in-principle approval from the UAE Central Bank for a retail payment services licence, aiming to serve mainland UAE clients and support trade-linked B2B payments between China, the Middle East and Africa. SME Capital Markets (India): Two Mumbai firms—Complete Sports & Management India and Paluck Technologies—listed on the BSE SME platform, raising ₹74.93 crore and ₹33.00 crore respectively. Trade Pressure (Canada–US): A Canadian patio furniture maker says 50% US tariffs are forcing a rethink of where to manufacture, a warning for small exporters tied to one market. Business Tech (Robotics): AGIQUAD showcased quadruped robots at LEAP 2026 with live demos for heavy-load carrying and self-righting in desert and industrial settings.
