Innovating, gaining market share and fostering social inclusion: success stories in SME development

This document is not an exhaustive recounting of success stories. Instead, it highlights those cases that stand out for their potential impact, their replicability in a variety of socio-economic and cultural contexts, their economic efficiency or their capacity to promote sustainable development. Moreover, the cases selected for this document are not confined to lessons learned in the countries participating in the initiative. The review cast a broader net, pinpointing replicable best practices in the member countries of the participating institutions and in the rest of the world as well.
