The purpose of this initiative is to promote the successful adoption of eBusiness by micro and small-sized enterprises in Latin America and contribute to their competitiveness and economic growth.

Ebusiness is the progressive process of investing in information and communications technologies (ICT); applying them to transform business processes like market research, production, finance and management; improving firm management and technical skills; and transacting business with other businesses, governments and households via online networks. A variety of impact evaluations show that the e-business development process boosts small business knowledge, market outreach and productivity, thus enabling them to compete more effectively in local and international markets and realize their growth potential.
