ERC at ISBE 2016


The sun shone for the Institute of Small Business and Entrepreneurship conference which was held in Paris this year. ERC was well represented with research papers, organised a conference theme on business growth and helped lead workshops on ISBE’s policy links and the Longitudinal Small Business Survey. Much of the discussion in the plenary sessions was about Brexit. The stand-out statistic was the 80,000 pages of treaty documentation which reportedly needs to be renegotiated.

Go West – Export opportunities for UK firms in the US
Building on ERC research on exporting, Stephen Roper was the lead speaker at a House of Commons breakfast event on US exporting organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Trust. The discussion focussed on US market opportunities and some of the barriers faced by smaller firms in the US. Export support agencies were encouraged to provide more support for SMEs in ‘friendly’ markets such as the US.
