NEDCO, an initiative of the Ministry of Labour and Small and Micro Enterprise Development, was established in August 2002, as a limited liability state-owned Company and was mandated to assist in the development of a sustainable small and micro enterprise (SME) sector through entrepreneurship.

In the course of effecting its mandate, NEDCO's thrust and emphasis will be on:

PROMOTING entrepreneurial awareness through the country

DISSEMINATING consistent and reliable information to the sector

TRAINING and development initiatives

MENTORING initiatives

FUNDING assistance for start-ups and expansions

NEDCO will act as a catalyst in the development of an entrepreneurial culture in Trinidad and Tobago, employing strategies that will attract the young and traditionally disenfranchised sectors of the populace towards business activitiess.

It is estimated that over 90 percent of all new small and micro businesses fail within the first year of operation. NEDCO aims to reverse this trend.

Small businesses are the principal contributors to employment generation in developed and developing nations. Besides providing jobs, small business owners pay taxes, earn a comfortable living for the owners and contribute to the economy as a whole.
