As Europe Day approaches, it’s a good moment to ask: what does European cooperation really deliver for businesses on the ground? For small and medium-sized enterprises, the answer is crucial – it can mean the difference between staying local and scaling across borders.

Our Communications Director, Sofiya Yevchuk, is joined by Ema Paulino, Chair of BusinessEurope’s Entrepreneurship and SME Committee and an entrepreneur in Portugal’s pharmaceutical sector. Together, they explore what’s holding Europe’s small businesses back, what needs to change, and what it really takes to scale up in Europe and beyond.
