President’s Message With immense pleasure , we are organizing the 2nd NCICK Digital Expo Nepal 2025 with a motif that “Economic Transformation through Digitalization of Nepali Market” is imperative for local industries to thrive in a rising global digital economy. NCICK is determined in creating a sustainable digital market and digital shift awareness for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which are considered to be the foundation for sustainable, inclusive and resilient economic development. Moreover, SMEs are acting a vital role in maintaining stability in the economy through sustained growth, employment generation and establishment of an effective value chain. For instance, the contribution of SMEs to Nepal’s economy is substantial because SMEs contribute 22% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). SMEs are generating employment for 1.8 million people, especially women, making them invaluable to their empowerment. They also add to an inclusive and broad-based economy. NCICK is committed to encourage and embrace all the SMEs and local products connected to all the district chapters and commodity association associated with the Nepal Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI) . We are working on bringing all the medium and small enterprises into a digital platform , which are deprived of digital technology. Since crafting a sustainable digital market will face many challenges, we request all the private sector to join our mission of creating a sustainable digital platform to empower the local market into the global arena. To thrive amid a limited internet access in rural areas, digital literacy gaps, and the need for reliable logistics and payment systems is a challenging task ahead in our mission. Therefore, along with the commencement of the 2nd NCICK Digital Expo Nepal 2025 ,we will undertake digital literacy programs for ensuring equitable access to the benefits of the digital economy. Furthermore, providing training and support to local producers in areas such as e-commerce management, digital marketing, and online payment processing is crucial for their success. In conclusion, I would like to request the Nepali private sector to support this event with a reverent sponsorship, participation and partnership . NCICK believes that digital market holds immense potential for the growth and sustainability of local products in Nepal. Moreover, investing in digital infrastructure and digital skills development will be a crucial for transforming the Nepali market into the digital market ensuring that its benefits reach all segments of Nepali society.
