Entrepreneurial agenda SME-Netherlands

Use the contributions and solutions of entrepreneurs for major social challenges

Entrepreneurs have solutions for all major social transitions and challenges. However, these are not always seen and certainly not sufficiently used. Moreover, they encounter the necessary boundaries and obstacles. What entrepreneurs need from the new cabinet is trust, simplification and predictability. What they can offer in return is innovation, acceleration and connection.

That's what this one is about Entrepreneurial agenda, which was presented to Minister Beljaarts of Economic Affairs on July 8, 2024.

The agenda provides an anthology of what entrepreneurs contribute to, mean and have solutions for major social themes such as climate and social security, on a small and larger scale: from helping employees with debts and informal care to innovations for the energy transition and climate adaptation. .

Furthermore, MKB-Nederland identifies concrete measures in the agenda that entrepreneurs need from the government in order to play their role much better. In short, they need space, both literally and figuratively. A brake on entrepreneurship is also a brake on the problem-solving capacity of that entrepreneurship. If we want to make better use of the opportunities, we must also make entrepreneurs better able to do so. Read the entire article on MKB-Nederland.
