OECD review on Irish SME and Entrepreneurship Policy published
Under the Future Jobs initiative, the Irish Government has published a review undertaken by the OECD on SME and Entrepreneurship Policy in Ireland. A roadmap has also been published, which sets out priority areas for implementation. The OECD’s analysis will form the basis for a new Government strategy on SMEs and Entrepreneurship, which will be published by the end of the year following further consultation. Some of the main OECD recommendations cover areas such as broadening the remit of the Local Enterprise Offices, digital and automation skills, and engagement in areas of energy and environment.
