For the first time, the SME Assembly and the European Cluster Conference converge into a single flagship event, uniting policymakers, entrepreneurs, cluster managers, investors and innovators under one roof and one shared agenda.

Following a first day of local business visits, the two-day programme at the Convention Centre Dublin will address the questions most relevant to European enterprise today: how to grow companies and open new markets in a more competitive global environment; what artificial intelligence means in practice for businesses without dedicated technology resources; and how to develop the resilient value chains — including in defence and security — that a changing geopolitical context demands.

Dedicated sessions will provide structured opportunities for both SMEs and clusters to connect and develop partnerships across sectors and borders. The programme will also recognise outstanding European enterprises and entrepreneurs, including the finalists of the Youth Start-Up Challenge.

On the evening of 3 November, participants will be invited to Dublin Castle for the Schumpeter ‘Innovation in Enterprise’ Lecture and the European SME Week Reception.
