Europe's growth crisis is homemade. So is the cure. That's the logic behind our #NewGrowthAgenda for Europe, launched on 2 September at the SME2B26 Forum - and behind the #BrusselsAcceleratorAct we've now put in front of the Commission President & the Competitiveness Council.

📢 We are pleased to support the #DIGITALSMEsummit, taking place on 16 November in Brussels.
This year’s edition will focus on how to boost demand for sovereign solutions, increase their uptake and create the conditions for European companies to scale and compete globally.
Expect 500+ participants, policy discussions, company demos, networking opportunities and 4 awards dedicated to #SMEs.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this conversation!

If Europe wants growth, it needs #innovation. If it wants innovation, it needs #SMEs and #MidCaps in the lead.
That conviction ran through every session of the European Entrepreneurs Creative Days 2026. And now it's written down.

Christoph Ahlhaus and Jorge Portugal, President and Co-President of European Entrepreneurs #CEAPME, and John Edwards, Secretary-General of EURASHE, have signed the "Common Declaration for a Lisbon Manifesto for Incremental Innovation".

The focus on innovation is deliberate. It's how most SMEs and Mid-Caps innovate, and it deserves a far bigger place in Europe's growth strategy.
Thank you to our member COTEC Portugal for hosting us.

"#Innovation is about jobs."
For @Moedas, Mayor of Lisbon and former European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, the logic is simple: good jobs depend on companies competitive enough to sustain them, and that #competitiveness depends on innovation.

Our thanks to Mayor Carlos Moedas for welcoming the European Entrepreneurs Creative Days delegation to Lisbon City Hall, and to our member COTEC Portugal for making it happen.

His message on Europe's task echoes ours: turn knowledge into innovation, and innovation into growth.

Most innovation in Europe doesn't start in a lab. It starts inside a company, most likely an SME, improving a product or a way of working & it spreads when entrepreneurs share what worked. That's the idea behind the European Entrepreneurs Creative Days, now underway in Lisbon.
1/
The other aspect of the work is about policy. Members are coordinating a shared push to make #innovation one of the key drivers of Europe's growth, including the incremental, everyday innovation that #SMEs and #MidCaps deliver and that EU support schemes too often miss.

"Yes to Made in Europe. But let's not only punish others for errors we made ourselves."
That was our Secretary General Stefan Moritz's message in Paris yesterday 🧵
1/
Our #BrusselsAcceleratorAct and our 3 priority demands for more growth take on both.
The aim is to make Made in Europe the competitive choice, not just the protected one.

EU industry ministers meet at the Competitiveness Council in Brussels tomorrow. This is the conversation we want them to have.

Thank you 🙏
To the entrepreneurs who travelled from across the continent, the EU officials and MEPs who met them as partners, and everyone who made the SME2B Business Forum Europe 2026 a real exchange - this one's for you.

We've gathered the afternoon into a short highlights film: keynotes, panels, and a shared conviction that Europe's businesses are ready to do what they do best - innovate, invest, create jobs and grow.
2/
The conversations don't stop here. We're already turning them into the positions we bring to the EU institutions.
