Why does it matter?
Small business owners frequently talk about how they must juggle multiple roles to stay ahead. Pressed for time and revenue, their challenges are hard to ignore. Small business owners face technological developments and challenges in industry and the social landscape, all while facing rising costs and risks, as well as increasing bureaucracy and red tape.
In other words: running a thriving small business in Europe is getting harder, not easier.
Over the course of the evening, we will convene micro and small businesses, policymakers and stakeholders from the entrepreneurial support ecosystem. Participants will share and learn from each other, surface concrete challenges and issues small businesses are facing right now in bureaucracy, digitalization, financing, and cashflow resilience before identifying opportunities for action to ensure European small businesses continue to lead the way.
It is time for a reality check. From a small town shop to an IT start-up or designer, let’s give European entrepreneurs the stage they deserve and bring together all those committed to their success.
