SMEs Meet Politics: Election Aftermath –
Analyzing the Landscape, Exploring Future Directions, and Addressing SME Expectations

As a follow-up to the SME Connect interview series, in which self-employed individuals and representatives of One-Person Companies (OPCs) presented their pressing questions to several candidates for the European Parliament, we will gather now again to provide insight into what self-employed individuals and OPCs can concretely expect from the new European Parliament and the upcoming Commission.

Participants will be able to share updates on their current situations, highlighting key challenges and contributing practical solutions. The group has been deliberately expanded to include additional POC and self-employment representatives, ensuring a broad range of perspectives.

This event serves as a valuable platform to connect the concerns and expectations of self-employed individuals and single entrepreneurs with the political sphere, identifying shared avenues for future action.
