INSME Annual Sustainable Finance Meeting for SMEs

INSME Green Finance Meeting: Unlocking Sustainable Finance for SMEs Event in Rome, Italy (Oct 14-15, 2024)

Event Description

INSME is pleased to celebrate its 20th Anniversary this upcoming October, alongside its members and partners.

The idea of launching an international initiative for SMEs was conceived in 2000 by the Italian Government and introduced as part of the OECD Bologna Process on SMEs, which was a set of endeavours agreed to by OECD members to implement recommendations adopted during the OECD Ministerial Conference on SMEs and Globalisation in June 2000.

The resolutions in the first OECD Ministerial Conference on SMEs were set forth in the Bologna Charter in SME policies which included a reference to the set-up of INSME as a gateway and effective interlocutor for governments committed to implementing policies in support of SMEs. Thus, in February 2004 the network became an independent legal entity, increasing its partnerships and activities and enhancing its commitment to SMEs through several projects, initiatives, and policies.
