SME Assembly

The SME Assembly is the most significant event for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. The conference takes place once a year during the European SME week. Together with the network of SME envoys, the assembly creates the governance structure of the small business act.

SME Assembly 2021

The 2021 SME Assembly took place from 15 to 17 November 2021, together with the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Subject to a strict COVID protocol, the flagship SME event was hybrid, with delegates attending in-person and online.

The assembly featured a combination of high-level panels and interviews, expert roundtables, interactive workshops, informative masterclasses, and innovative networking opportunities to help answer the difficult questions facing our community post-COVID.
