Recognizing SMEs as the backbone of the EU economy, the it focuses on three main pillars: capacity-building and support for transition, reducing regulatory burden and improving market access, and improving access to financing. It includes initiatives to help SMEs adopt sustainable practices and digital technologies, emphasizes the importance of training and innovation, and aims to simplify regulatory requirements while enhancing market conditions. Additionally, the strategy proposes measures to improve access to finance, leveraging EU funds and promoting investment.
