IE Scholar Request

Dear colleagues,

I am looking if you know about any “SME-aimed polices” developed at country or regional level (such as strategies/policies for entrepreneurship, plans for start-ups, innovation, etc).  For example, the European Commission has developed the Small Business Act (SBA) and Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan. I was wondering if there is something similar in other countries (e.g. USA, Canada, BRIC, Israel, Japan but also within the European Union and beyond).

If you have any useful information or if you want to know more, please do not hesitate to contact me: igor.kalinic@ec.europa.eu.

Best regards,
