What happens to emerging economy businesses that aren't served by either commercial banking or microfinance? In many developing countries large businesses have access to formal, bank-based credit and capital markets; meanwhile households and micro-entrepreneurs have access to micro-loans. This leaves a massive economic gap known as the "missing middle" in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

SMEs account for half of GDP and two-thirds of jobs in developed countries, and are potentially a high-impact, high-return investment.  Please join us to hear Google.org discuss how we can drive capital to these enterprises and what lessons can be shared between the SME and micro-enterprise sectors.
