To  augment  the export  from MSME  sector,  Ministry  of  MSME  is  implementing  the International Cooperation (IC) Scheme under which financial assistance is provided on reimbursement basis to the eligible Central / State Government organizations and Industry Associations to facilitate / participation of MSMEs in international exhibitions, fairs and buyer-seller meets held abroad and for organizing  international  conference,  seminar  and  workshops  in  India  with  the  aim  of  technology upgradation, modernization, joint venture etc. Further, under the new component of IC Scheme namely Capacity Building of First Time Exporters (CBFTE) launched in June 2022, reimbursement is provided to new micro & small enterprises (MSE) exporters for costs incurred on Registration-cum-Membership Certification  (RCMC)  with  EPCs,  Export  Insurance  Premium  and  testing  &  quality  certification  for exports.  These  interventions  under  IC  Scheme  assist  the  exporters  in  MSME  sector  to  increase  their access to international markets.
