6/28/2017

First of all - a great thanks to all of you responding to the survey!

We are happy that more than 10% of the members of the SME Academy took their time and responded to the survey "What can we do for you as a SME Academy Network member?". The results will be a part of our planning for our future activities and our improvements of the SME Academy Network for you as a member.

Some quick results:

Activities should preferable be online, short (<60 min) and with a fixed agenda.
"European SME-programs" and "Small Business Challenges" are ranked with the highest interest
Most valuable section of SME Academy web is "Reports & Results" and "Articles"
Network members want to contribute with "Reports and Results", "Presentations" and "Events".

This is a summary of the top rankings - but in general it was a very even result between alternatives and we an see a need for a wide range of information, activities etc..
