" Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role to turn Europe into a digital and sustainable economy and increase its resilience. The COVID crisis has hit small businesses particularly hard. How does the EU financially support SMEs to overcome the crisis and master the twin transition? 

Speakers from the Commission and the European Investment Fund will present the current and future financial instruments and programmes. In particular, the session will focus on access to finance and investments through the Commission’s SME Strategy and InvestEU."
