WELCOME TO
THE ALDE "BOOST SMEs" CAMPAIGN
HOMEPAGE
Towards a comprehensive European policy for small and medium sized enterprises
There are approximately 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the EU making up 99% of all businesses and providing two-thirds of all
private sector jobs. They represent the main driving force for economic growth, innovation, employment and social integration.
The EU has already done much to improve the situation for SMEs but a lot still remains to be done to reduce bureaucracy, simplify access to financial
instruments and improve SME access to European and international markets.
The ALDE group is determined to boost successful entrepreneurship in Europe and to further improve the framework conditions for SMEs in three priority areas
- Smart regulation and simplification of rules
- Easier financing
- Improved market access
ALDE SME Campaign Launch Event
We will launch the campaign on the eve of the European Council on February 29 at 18.30 in a marquee on the esplanade between Place Luxembourg and the EP.
