SMEs face challenges that exceed their capacities. These challenges not only threaten their survival but also limit their potential to contribute to economic growth and job creation.
The proposed high level of public investment does not guarantee their quality – neither in terms of executed works nor contributions to GDP growth and improvement of the quality of life, Nemanja Šormaz tells Danas.
„The low level of domestic private investment is a consequence of two key factors – one concerns the state, and the other concerns the SME sector itself,“ says Nemanja Šormaz, Director of CEVES, in an interview with Bloomberg Adria.

A conference was held today at the Science and Technology Park Čačak MSP100 EXPO 2024: New growth agenda for SMEs which brought together the most successful Serbian small and medium-sized enterprises and other actors from the SME ecosystem. This event, held for the third consecutive year, is dedicated to promoting the importance of the Serbian small and medium-sized enterprise sector. Along with discussions on strategic development challenges and recommendations that would lead to even faster SME development, the focus of this year's MSP100 EXPO was on directing key actors towards the realization of more intensive and efficient development support for the SME sector.
