EU SaptamineThe European Week of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) promotion campaign is taking place in more than 37 countries and is coordinated by the European Commission. It aims to inform SMEs about the support measures offered by the EU and local, regional and national authorities, and to recognise the contribution of entrepreneurs to improving wealth, creating jobs, improving competitiveness and developing innovation.

In the Republic of Moldova, this initiative is supported annually by a series of large public events in Chisinau and in most district centres: round tables, public debates, training sessions and seminars, exhibitions and other forms of public presentations. They will address a range of topics, based on the realities of the business climate, constraints on the private sector in the Republic of Moldova, opportunities for international business start-ups and scale-ups. It will also promote the history of successful entrepreneurs, organise networking and communication events and create new business partnerships.
