Global demands for productivity, performance, and profitability are intense, though visibly absent across 100 free economies, despite the Trump Administration’s push for trade wars, hence, countries are already rapidly transforming to get their houses in order. This also coincides with Trump’s Chainsaw teams overtaking bureaucratic stagnations across the USA in January 2025—a tremendous global show of national efficiencies.
The world’s free economies have three positive options: First, they create a critical mass; they have enough skilled citizenry to start micro-trade, micro-exports, and micro-manufacturing nationally. Second, spark a global SME boom by leveraging technology that once cost a million dollars but is now available for under $1,000. Third, rediscover the wide-open world, where collaborative innovation and entrepreneurialism transcend borders and hold more value than degrees.
Economies of the world now must demonstrate their skills in fertilizing the largest crops of SMEs, the small and medium enterprises, and prove they have the skills to nurture them into larger-scale operations so that top percentile SMEs can grow to Godzilla-size globally gigantic enterprises and change the face of their country. This is a tough decision, but now is the best time to start.
Such models were originally created by the USA over a century ago and made the USA the first, most immense, and longest-running entrepreneurial nation power over a century. Each nation can start by establishing a Ministry of Entrepreneurialism. This will involve creating a national mandate to mobilize entrepreneurship across the country. This initiative will represent the greatest victory for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are the hidden treasures of commerce and job creation for our member nations. It will particularly benefit the female workforce and the youth of the country.
Why did the mighty economists of the world miss out so badly? Historically, superpower economies have always crawled out of the oceans of small and medium enterprises, not from the books of economics. As always, many of these SMEs grew into Godzilla-size global giants and changed the face of their nations. Check out the top 10 superpower economies. Economists with their job-seeker mindsets are still afraid of the powers of entrepreneurial mysticism, the job-creator mindset.
The Key to Success: Identifying and Digitizing SMEs: Only once a national mandate exists and such progress is achieved within 100 days in simultaneous synchronization will the deployments of the National Mobilization of Entrepreneurialism commence. The deployments will involve 5000 to 50000 SMEs in upskilling exporters and reskilling manufacturers, uplifting productivity, performance, and profitability with real value-creation economies.

Significance of National SMEs: National SMEs, when combined, make up the largest economic sectors of any nation. All major corporations of the world were once tiny-small-unknown-enterprises from unknown places and their unknown creators. It is a mistake to call any SME small, as they are the largest pool of untapped entrepreneurialism, the most sacred and valuable asset of any small or large national economy. The potential of these SMEs is immense, and their growth can significantly shape the future of BRICS’ new member nations.
Why is a Ministry of Entrepreneurialism urgently needed? The world has changed. There is a critical need for a global vision and innovative thinkers who can quickly and efficiently address the micro-issues that SMEs face. These qualities are desirable and necessary in today’s business world. There is a crucial need for a Ministry of Entrepreneurship led by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. This Ministry should focus on practical, real-world responses rather than being another layer of scattered accelerators or academic programs. It should uncover innovative ideas that can transform the nation and influence the future.
What is the current national leadership’s stance on the ‘mobilization of entrepreneurship’? How are they supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and what level of expertise do they have to compete globally? Who monitors the entrepreneurial environment, especially regarding women and youth in business? Are there clear criteria and methods for exploring entrepreneurship? Furthermore, where are the plans to establish strong national and global entrepreneurial frameworks? What is the current status of SMEs in your regions?
In today’s interconnected world, early entrepreneurs must possess international skills, be digitally savvy, and have a deep understanding of the nuances of entrepreneurship. Gone are the days when a small business needed a brochure, a website, and a sign on the door. Today, businesses require modern programs with proven, value-driven models for scaling both nationally and globally.
This encompasses effective image positioning and national and international branding, strategic data management, and social media initiatives. Decades ago, such resources were typically available only to multinational corporations. Today, they are almost free and may require some fine-tuning.
Why is Expothon Worldwide, a global platform for entrepreneurial innovation and authority on National Mobilization of SME protocols, now so focused on 100 countries? Why is it challenging with new narratives and deployable methodologies for all massive SME sectors within the GCC, OIC, European Union, African Union, Commonwealth, BRICS and ASEAN for national mobilization of entrepreneurialism as immediately applicable pragmatic solutions? Over the last decade, these insights are shared weekly and reach approximately 2000 selected VIP recipients, who are national cabinet-level senior government officials across 100 free economies. This track record of expertise and trust forms the foundation of our proposed strategies.
The Ministry of Entrepreneurship needs to focus on three key elements: Firstly, it should demonstrate an entrepreneurial mindset. It should adopt an entrepreneurial narrative that resonates with business owners, promoting a mindset centered on job creation. The pace of delivery and execution must align with the sector’s fast, results-oriented approach.
Secondly, the world never sleeps; the Ministry should operate around the clock, fostering a culture of innovation while providing a platform for continuous learning and open dialogue. Lastly, productivity via value creation; entrepreneurialism is driven by one fundamental principle: the ongoing pursuit of superior performance, free from the constraints of traditional bureaucratic rules.
The rest is easy…
