"It is going to be a significant increase from last year's event," SME Corp Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Datuk Hafsah Hashim told Bernama.

Hafsah said last year's three-day showcase arranged 200 business matching sessions with sales negotiations valued at RM247.46 million.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is expected to officiate SMIDEX 2013, themed "SMEs Changing the Game", on June 14.

SMIDEX offers local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) a unique opportunity to network, seal deals and forge lasting business relationships, and is jointly organised by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and SME Corp Malaysia.

SMIDEX is also a dynamic platform for Malaysia's entrepreneurs to display their ability to match their products, services and technologies to the fast-changing demands of the evolving national, regional and global markets.

During SMIDEX 2013, SME Corp will sign three memorandums of understanding --with Korea's Small and Medium Business Corporation (SBC), Yemen's Small Enterprise Development Fund, and Entrepreneurship Development Fund of Kazakhstan.

The MOUs will cover issues such as information exchange, support for SME programmes, establishing of business contacts and business matching, and attachment programme for Korean experts in Malaysian SMEs.
