Why This Matters

One database. A stronger economy for every province.

Right now, information on Papua New Guinea's small and medium enterprises is scattered across different offices, registries, and paper files. That makes it hard for banks to lend, for government to plan, and for your business to be found.

This project changes that. The Small and Medium Enterprise Corporation (SMEC), working with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and support from the Australian Government (DFAT) under the Climate FIRST programme, is building a single, secure, nationwide registry of PNG's SMEs — collected and maintained through the programme's own data platform, eDOS (Eywa Data OS).

Once you're in the database, you're visible: to financial institutions looking to lend, to buyers looking for local suppliers, and to government programs designed to help you grow.

What gets collected

  • 01 Basic business details — name, sector, location, and size
  • 02 Ownership & employment information, including women-led and rural enterprises
  • 03 Financial & operational data to support access-to-finance matching
  • 04 Contact details so we can reach you about support, training, and prizes
Our Objectives

What registering actually does for you

This isn't a paperwork exercise. Here's what a single, trusted national SME database is designed to deliver for business owners and for the country.

A single source of truth

One official, up-to-date register — replacing fragmented, outdated lists across agencies and provinces.

Better access to finance

Verified profiles give lenders and investors the confidence and visibility to say yes to your business.

Smarter government policy

Real, nationwide data lets SMEC and its partners design support programs based on evidence, not guesswork.

Nationwide reach

Data collection spans all four regions and 22 provinces — formal and informal, urban and rural businesses alike.

Data you can trust

Every registration is protected under strict privacy and data-protection standards on the eDOS platform, reviewed and verified by SMEC officers.

Visibility & credibility

An official national listing signals trust to customers, suppliers, and partners looking to work with you.

Registration Rewards

Register your business, get rewarded

These rewards are for businesses that register on the national SME database and complete their registration.

05

Free Business Websites

Five registered SMEs will receive a professionally built website — a real online storefront for your business, at no cost.

05

Free Digital Marketing Setups

Five SMEs will get a full digital marketing setup — social pages, listings, and a starter content plan to reach more customers.

Free Training for All

Every registered SME is invited to hands-on training workshops covering digital tools, record-keeping, and growing your market.

How winners are chosen: We pick the website and marketing winners at random from verified registrations. Every verified business has the same chance. Training is open to every business on the register — no draw needed. SMEC announces the winners directly. Winning is always free — nobody will ever ask you to pay to receive a prize.
