Panel 2: Next steps for SMEs at the OECD
Forward looking in content, this second panel will take stock from the experiences shared in the first panel and identify the tangible and concrete initiatives that governments could scale up with the help of the OECD. Panelists will also indicate project areas where further OECD evidence and best practices could also facilitate SME policy design and roll out. Panelists will be asked how the OECD—over the next 12-24 month period—could make progress in the field of entrepreneurship.
