Preface The Small Business Act for Europe (SBA) Adopted by the European Commission in June 2008, the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA) created a new framework for SME policy, bringing SMEs’ needs to the forefront of EU policy. The SBA aims to improve the overall policy approach to entrepreneurship, irreversibly anchoring the “Think Small First” principle in policy-making and promoting SMEs’ growth. The SBA is made up of: • •

ten guiding principles to guide the conception and implementation of policies at EU and national level; an ambitious package of concrete and far reaching measures to translate these principles into action at EU and Member State level.

The Member States endorsed the SBA at the Competitiveness Council in December 2008 and committed themselves to implementing an SBA Action Plan. The Review of the SBA In February 2011 the Commission adopted a Review of the SBA. The Review of the SBA concluded that good progress in implementing the SBA has been achieved so far, but continued vigorous implementation remains of utmost importance. The priorities highlighted by stakeholders and Member States are specifically addressed: developing the “Think Small First” principle, creating the right conditions for SMEs’ access to finance and promoting access to markets, including the Single Market and third-country markets. New actions at European and national level are proposed in these fields as well as in the area of entrepreneurship promotion. To monitor the implementation of the SBA principles and actions, the Review includes a strong governance mechanism. The Commission has nominated a new SME Envoy and invited Member States to nominate their national SME Envoys (“Mr or Ms SME”). An SBA Advisory Group will be set up, including the national SME Envoys together with representative EU level business organisations. The Group will act as the main interface between the Commission and national policy-makers for contributing towards the dialogue on SBA implementation. In addition, an annual SME Assembly will be called, closely linked to SBA Conference from 2012. The participants will comprise representatives of business organisations at national level in the Member States.

Conference “Mobilising SMEs for the Future of Europe” - the Small Business Act for Europe & European Enterprise Awards 2011: exchange of good practices This international conference, co-organised by the Enterprise and Industry Directorate General of the European Commission and Hungarian Presidency of the EU, will focus on moving forward with implementing the Small Business Act (SBA) for Europe in the Member States. Keynote speakers will focus on the recent Review of the SBA, and workshops will focus on inspiring local and regional solutions to the key challenges facing SMEs. The inaugural meeting and the first informal working meeting of the national SME Envoy network, part of the SBA Advisory Group, will take place in the presence of Commission Vice-President Tajani during the conference. We welcome to this conference local and regional public authorities, business organisations, and experts from Member States’ national and regional administrations. The European Enterprise Awards 5th edition: rewarding the best promoters of small business The 5th edition of the European Enterprise Awards showcases and rewards the most innovative initiatives to promote entrepreneurship and small business by public authorities at national, regional and local level. Interactive workshops with the shortlisted candidates and exhibition stands will enable an exchange of good practice. The winners from among 54 nominees from 30 European countries are to be announced during a gala dinner by Antonio Tajani, European Commission Vice President, Dr Zoltán Cséfalvay, Hungarian Minister of State for National Economy and Arnoldas Abramavičius, President of the Commission for Economic and Social Affairs, European Committee of the Regions.
