Description

Europe’s SMEs are facing the twin challenges of transitioning to a digital as well as a more sustainable way of doing business. They also have to deal with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our sessions will provide practical advice on EU programmes and tools that can help SMEs meet these challenges head-on.
Registration will close on 25 May at 16:00 (CET). Once we have received your registration request, we will proceed with the approval process, subject to the limited space available for each webinar.
The entire event will take place on Interactio, a web-based platform. You will receive links for the sessions you selected before the event.
The event will be held in English, but we will provide FR, DE, ES, IT, PL and PT translations for all the sessions.
