Event Details

In the EU, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the economy. They make up over 99% of businesses and are crucial for employment, innovation and economic growth.

At this "Access to finance" event you'll have the opportunity to hear from our expert panel on the best options for SMEs to access finance. Hearing options from traditional and non-traditional financing options.
