Business at OECD co-sponsors a hybrid conference on 22 March 2022 where several European business leaders will discuss Small and Medium Enterprises and their importance on the international scene.
A core event for entrepreneurs and policymakers, with the chance to learn policy practices and initiatives that have worked to enhance the productivity and longevity of SMEs, with visible effects in the field. Special attention will be paid to government initiatives and partnerships that have enabled SMEs on the ground to operate and thrive, in particular in the last two years and to packages that have addressed the COVID-19 crisis.
The speakers will identify the tangible and concrete initiatives that governments could scale up with the help of the OECD. Panelists will also indicate project areas where further OECD evidence and best practices could also facilitate SME policy design and roll out. Panelists will be asked how the OECD could suggest policies to progress in the field of entrepreneurship over the next 12-24 month period.
