Let’s put the micro, small and medium enterprises at the centre of our economy and work together! 

Our society celebrates unicorns - magical animals that don’t exist - instead of focusing on the real engine of our society: the small and medium enterprises that are around for a long time, contributing financially and socially to the economy.

In 2020, SMEs accounted for 63% of the added value and 71% of employment in the business economy. The share of the SME sector in the total turnover is also high, making SMEs a vital factor in economic growth.

SPIN Ideas goal is to:

1. Map out the Micro & SMEs to better understand the ecosystem

2. Facilitate business interactions and possible business collaborations

3. Ensure business growth for Micro & SMEs
