How to support the internationalisation of SMEs and microenterprises
Enterprises employing less than 250 persons form the backbone of the European economy contributing to employment, output and innovation. They account for over 99% of all enterprises, 67% of jobs, and 58% of output. However, only 52% of European SMEs are active in international markets. Moreover, less than 20% of SMEs are involved in internationalisation as subcontractors; and less than 10% of them partnered with a foreign enterprise on R&D and only 4% invested directly in a foreign based firm.
These numbers suggest that there is scope for increased internationalisation of European SMEs. Such a development would desirable from a European policy-maker's point of view as internationalisation tends to create economic growth and jobs, and makes the involved SMEs more resilient to market volatility at home.
The workshop is organised by the Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy for the ITRE Committee.
