From Start-up to Star
Accelerating Growth for European Entrepreneurs
Tomorrow’s global leaders should be coming from Europe.

A truly unique event in the Brussels calendar – bringing together Europe’s best small companies and entrepreneurial stars of the future with leading policy makers, academics and venture capitalists.

The aim of the Day is to drive a practical, results-oriented action plan for a successful high-growth entrepreneur model in Europe, and demonstrate a range of successful innovation and partnership models in action.

EU SME Day events will focus on:

• Investment Opportunities for High Growth Entrepreneurs in Europe
• Driving the policy agenda to ensure Europe's prominence in the global Entrepreneur market
• Better Regulation for Europe
• How a risk-taking culture improves Europe's market for leading business

EU SME Day is about understanding the challenges and the opportunities that entrepreneurs face across Europe while engaging with policymakers from the EU, Member States and local governments.
The day will offer a series of forums where businesses, policymakers, venture capitalists and academics will be able to engage, discuss and collaborate on the challenges facing them while exploring ideas on how to accelerate innovation to build a stronger knowledge-based economy across Europe.
Businesses and Entrepreneurs will also showcase their work at the EU SME Exhibition Area.
The objective of EU SME Day is to engage, to listen, to voice and to define clear objectives needed to support an action plan that will accelerate Europe’s role in the global market place.
