Publication of the Report of the SME Taskforce: SME and Entrepreneurship Growth Plan
Minister of State Damien English TD and Minister of State Robert Troy TD have today welcomed the publication of the SME Taskforce’s, ‘SME and Entrepreneurship Growth Plan’.
The Growth Plan was developed by a taskforce of entrepreneurs, business leaders and other individuals as established under a commitment in the Programme for Government – ‘Our Shared Future’ and who are uniquely positioned to contribute to a long-term vision for the SME sector in Ireland.
The SME Taskforce’s Growth Plan sets out a wide range of recommendations for Government with long-term strategic relevance for SMEs and entrepreneurs, including in the areas of digitalisation, clustering, regulation and education. These recommendations will be reviewed and taken forward, as appropriate, by an SME and Entrepreneurship Implementation Group in early 2021.
