European Parliament Event: SMEs’ access to Finance

The event is postponed to a later date for precautionary measures.

Corporate funding, in particular SMEs financing opportunities, has been a major topic of the EU public debate since the 2008/2009 financial crisis.

As one of its top priorities, this issue deals with many aspects of EU policies and goes beyond finance-only regulation.
 
On March 18th, European Parliament, European Commission, Financial industry and SME's and company representatives will gather at the European Parliament to discuss on financing issues SMEs can meet and the answers European policy-makers and the financial industry can provide.
 
In order to give the best possible insights from the “real economy” actors, the workshop will give a significant tribune to SMEs and company executives from different European countries.

In front of some of the most relevant EU policy-makers and industry representatives, they will be able to voice their “day-to-day” concrete issues and pressing concerns in a significant – and differentiated – way.

Chaired by : Stéphanie YON-COURTIN, Member of the European Parliament, Vice-chairman of the ECON Committee
