After the Financial Crisis in Our Economies: The Role of SMEs

Dr Khaled Soufani, Cambridge Judge Business School

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered to be major contributors to gross domestic product. They provide a wide variety of goods and services to the national and international economy and are one of the most important pillars supporting the structure of our economies.

In this talk, Dr Khaled Soufani will argue that the role of SMEs in achieving economic growth, creating jobs, and generating innovative ideas is essential to overall economic prosperity following the impact of the 2007 global financial crisis.
