Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of Europe's
economy. They represent 99% of all businesses in the EU. In fact, according

provided two-thirds of the total private sector employment in the EU in the
past 5 years. But despite their importance, SMEs face many challenges
such as access to finance, a shortage of skilled labour, new technologies to
cope with. So how can SMEs become more innovative and stay ahead of
the competition?
