The EU Access to Finance Days are organised to promote the use of current and future financial instruments, disseminate best practice, and improve dialogue between EU institutions and stakeholders in SMEs and financing. It was an opportunity for key stakeholders in small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) finance and financial intermediaries to discuss the design of financial instruments in current EU programmes. These programmes include Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (COSME), Horizon 2020, the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and WB EDIF.
