Small businesses drive Europe's economy
The European Union's official definition of a Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) is based on three main categories: Micro, Small, and Medium. A company must satisfy the headcount criterion and one of the two financial criteria, either turnover or balance sheet total. (More details here)
Throughout Europe, SMEs are at the heart of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Reflection from Paulina,
Our Managing Director
Across Europe, too many good businesses are still left on the outside.
Our work is to change that, by supporting underrepresented businesses as they grow and by helping big companies find practical ways to work with them.
I am proud to lead a team and a community that show up with such purpose every day.
Better suppliers, more resilient supply chains, a more competitive Europe
When big companies work with underrepresented businesses, they gain new ideas, local knowledge across European markets and a broader, more resilient supplier base. Small businesses gain the chance to grow, create jobs and compete on the quality of their work. That is good for business, and good for Europe.
