Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
Our mission is to lend a voice to small and medium businesses that their interests are represented commensurate with their importance. This is a required and legitimate claim as over two thirds of all employees within the EU are employed by SMEs and as SMEs have always been a motor for innovation and growth. Therefore, we offer a solid platform in order to get the demands of SMEs across to the European institutions and to inform our members about EU-related issues.
On the regional, national and European scale, CEA-PME provides economic and political information and ensures an active representation of the core interests of SMEs. To this effect, the association benefits from its well-established and reliable network within the European institutions (Parliament, Commission and Council). Our members are also provided with competent supports in the field of European programmes and projects and EU-funding. In addition, CEA-PME and its members regularly take part in EU-funded research projects.
