"SMEs are the backbone of Europe". For Fabrice Le Saché, Chair of BusinessEurope's Entrepreneurship & SME Committee, ensuring that SMEs across the Union work together is key to unlocking their full potential, enabling internationalisation, and driving growth. 📈 💡 From embracing the "think small first" principle to implementing a harmonised SME Test, Veronique Willems (Secretary General at SMEUnited) stresses that we need to ensure that small companies can comply with rules, otherwise they will lose their purpose. The SME Test Benchmark 2024, a collaborative report by BusinessEurope, Eurochambres, and SMEunited, was officially presented at the #SMEAssembly2024 in Budapest. Ben Butters, CEO of Eurochambres, highlights that the joint effort aims to ensure "that the European Commission is thinking about small and medium-sized enterprises when it prepares legislation".
