Exciting news for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and young entrepreneurs across Europe! The European SME Week 2023 is set to take place from 13th – 17th November 2023 in the vibrant city of Bilbao, and promises to be a unique and innovative event. Bilbao's spirit is reflected in the new look of the event, featuring the city skyline and vibrant colours in the design.

Incorporating both the SME Assembly [13th-15th November] and the Europe Enterprise Network (EEN) Conference 15th-17th November], this year's event is set to be even bigger and better.

The EEN conference provides a unique opportunity for SMEs to connect with potential partners and investors, and gain valuable insights into the latest trends and technologies in their industry.

The SME Assembly will be a key part of the week-long event, and attendees can look forward to the annual European Enterprise Promotion Awards (EEPA) ceremony, as well as other informative and engaging events focused on entrepreneurship and innovation. For 2023 the EEPA national competitions have started to launch across the participating countries and have announced their national deadlines.

Both the EEN conference and the SME Assembly will take place at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC).

Whether you're a young entrepreneur just starting out, or an established SME looking to expand your reach and network, the European SME Week has something for everyone.
