Workshop: Revitalising and modernising the small retail sector

This workshop provided the opportunity for local authorities to learn about the European Commission's 'Guide for revitalising and modernising the small retail sector'.

date:  14/03/2019

venue:  Madrid, Spain

The workshops gave participants the chance to learn first-hand from towns and cities that have successfully implemented initiatives, and get some insight into the challenges that they overcame.

Participants were able to pick up practical tips, learn about sources of finance and network, so that they can prepare solutions or create a successful local retail strategy for their own small retailers.

The agenda, presentations and link to the recording of the workshop are available below. 

Workshops also took place in Brussels (12 February 2019), Vienna (4 April 2019) and Bucharest (16 May 2019).

The workshops are part of the Single Market Forum 2018/2019.
