Abstract

The Small, Medium and Micro Enterprise Policy Development Project (SMEPoL) was an eight-year (2000-2008) initiative to support Egypt’s transition towards a market economy by assisting the Government to improve the policy environment for SME development. Presentations at the workshop were complemented by national views on the state of SME/entrepreneurship research in Egypt along with research gaps and barriers. Four components of the project consisted of: 1) Policy Reform; 2) Capacity Building; 3) Research and Information; and 4) Dissemination, Networking and Public Awareness.
