Happy MSME Day! 🎉 This year’s theme focuses on accelerating sustainable development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) by leveraging their power and resilience. The role of MSMEs is integral to the global economy.

Air8 aims to provide accessible financial support to MSMEs/SMEs struggling with limited working capital. "To foster the sustainable development of MSME/SME exporters and help them compete in broader markets, Air8 is committed to providing green financing to qualified MSMEs/SMEs with an environmental and social focus.
