SMEs play a crucial role in the Dutch economy. They account for 60% of the value added and over 70% of employment. Additionally, SMEs have an indispensable role in research and innovation, addressing major societal challenges (such as climate and energy), and supporting local communities (for example, through sponsorships).
The government has policies in place to support SMEs in addressing various challenges. These policies are outlined in the SME Action Plan, which identifies seven themes (human capital, financing, digitalisation, innovation implementation, regulations, taxation, and international trade). Each theme details a number of actions that the government, along with other stakeholders, aims to achieve.
Dialogic has supported the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy in further developing the monitoring and impact assessment of the SME Action Plan.
