Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are potentially the most dynamic sector of the economy. Their growth is key for the overall economic well-being. The European Commission offers several programmes and measures in place to promote SME growth.
The promotion of SME growth is part of all sectorial EU policies. Non-sectorial policies are brought together in the multi-annual programme (MAP ) for enterprise and entrepreneurship. From 2007 onwards, the MAP will be followed up by the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP), which is part of the "Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP)" 2007-2013.
