Simplify rules, reduce costs – Why Europe’s SMEs can’t wait

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of Europe’s economy, making up 99.8% of all companies and providing millions of jobs across the EU. Yet, too often, they are drowning in red tape instead of focusing on growth and innovation. 

In this debut episode of the SME Europe podcast, MEPs Jörgen Warborn, Marion Walsmann, Niels Flemming Hansen, Eva Maydell, and Aura Salas delve into the pressing issues facing Europe’s businesses today. 

Tune in for a frank conversation about what needs to change to let SMEs truly thrive in the EU.
