The SME Forum

Entrepreneurs' contact with the state takes place through various bodies and representations, but it is the ‘My Business’ Centres that are the real development point for entrepreneurs. Most government programmes to support entrepreneurship are implemented through the Centres, and advisory and information services are provided. How can we make every contact between the Centres and entrepreneurs productive? How to successfully integrate government programmes into the entrepreneur support system?
