SMEs have greatly contributed to employment, investment and value added in the Polish economy. However, key barriers to further growth remain in the business environment for SMEs and entrepreneurs.
This book sets out the current SME and entrepreneurship climate, reviews SME and entrepreneurship issues and policies at national and local levels, and provides observations and recommendations for improving and supporting entrepreneurship and SMEs in Poland.
It is intended both to support policy and programme development in Poland in order to further strengthen the critical SME and entrepreneurship sector and to provide inspiration to policy makers in other countries faced with similar challenges.
