Empowering SME Success:
Driving Growth through a Strengthened EU Single Market

Despite the advantages offered by the Single Market, many SMEs face significant challenges, such as regulatory complexity, access to funding, and market fragmentation, which can limit their ability to scale and compete effectively. This discussion will explore actionable strategies to reduce barriers, harmonize regulations, and unlock cross-border opportunities for SMEs. We will also introduce some insights gathered through a recent survey, offering fresh perspectives on the current experiences, challenges, and expectations of SMEs operating within the EU Single Market. The survey findings will be further reflected upon in light of key insights from both the Letta and Draghi reports, which provide important considerations for strengthening the Single Market to support SMEs more effectively.
