Mission & Interests

Goals: The Genesis Initiative was established to enhance the level and quality of dialogue on SME policy development, both in the U.K. and across the EU. This objective is achieved through research, the drafting of policy papers, the issuing of a regular Manifesto on improved measures to assist SME creation, access to more diverse funding sources, facilitating scaling-up etc, and by acting as an advocacy body in the common interests of small businesses, vis-à-vis the UK Government ministries and members of the EU Parliament. This has become even more important in the light of the UK's departure from the EU, and the need to sustain bilateral EU-EU SME trade. The Genesis Initiative follows closely the activities of the newly-formed EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly
