SME Assembly
THE CHALLENGE
SMEs are the dynamic heart of Europe's economy, representing 99% of all businesses and accounting for more than half of Europe’s GDP. Time and again the biggest breakthroughs in major issues such as climate change or social cohesion start with an inspired SME-driven idea. So how do we get the Europe-wide SME community to share knowledge more effectively, break down barriers and drive innovation together?

THE SOLUTION
Working with DG GROW at the European Commission, LOW has created the go-to event for policy-makers, business leaders and the SME community – an annual catalyst for collaboration and celebration which is now in its 12th year.
Our policy and event management specialists model the strategy and manage all aspects of the programme. We supervise the logistics of more than 500 senior delegates, provide branding and design for the event, write the conference programme, select high-level speakers and moderators, and create innovative new formats such as ‘The Big Debate’ (which introduced greater delegate participation into the conference).
Following its inaugural success in Cyprus (2012), LOW has organised successful SME Assembly events in Vilnius (2013), Naples (2014), Luxembourg (2015), Bratislava (2016), Tallinn (2017), Graz (2018), Helsinki (2019), with the German Presidency in 2020 for the first-ever online SME Assembly, in Slovenia (2021), Prague (2022) and Bilbao (2023).
