Emerging  markets are rising, ratifying a new global economic framework and a new business concept. The aim is to open new international paths for business expansion.

Substantial changes occurred in worldwide economy: huge drop of transport costs, emergent economies - with lower labor costs  - accessing international market,  widespread information and communication technology. All this contributes to increase competitiveness pressure on Italian producers, both in home and global markets.

A primary and well-known need is to further diversify export markets, through intercepting requests coming from booming countries. In this way, foreign demand can push an economic upturn, even in case of weakness of domestic demand (this being the situation in Italy and in many advanced economies). The challenge of  markets’ growth goes along with many opportunities: worldwide medium-classes are enlarging and their native countries represent high potentiality markets.

Strategies to access and stay firmly in new markets are now a substantial need, due to the present economic scenario. Therefore Italian SMEs can no longer base their  business expansion merely on export; they need to look forward to internationalize their activities. De-localization choices has to be taken in order to grant stable access  to the most dynamic markets, not only to be more competitive thanks to costs reduction. The most correct way to win on the international scene and to face foreign competitors is to develop and propose on a certain market your product with its own specificity, yet adapted to the particular needs of the destination country.

But nowadays for SMEs is difficult to find the financial resources needed to expand on international scenarios. Because of this, many and different initiatives in support of enterprises, both at national and international level, grew up during last years.

Because of this, many and different initiatives in support of enterprises, both at national and international level, grew up during last years. The recent Italian decree called “Decreto Sviluppo bis” contains measures and incentives aiming to promote international expansion for Italian SMEs. The decree helps national companies involved in international projects by extending power of Simest SpA  (Italian Society for abroad companies). Simest can now take part to share capital of companies involved in abroad valorization and trade of Italian products. Furthermore, access to credit  by SMEs is now simplified thanks to a reinforced assets of financial intermediaries, under  Bank of Italy’s surveillance.   

SMEs are the real backbone of the European economy, generating two-thirds of private sector employment. But in the current economic downturn SMEs are very much in need of a helping hand to navigate these choppy economic waters. European Commission is therefore pulling out all the stops to support SMEs in order to meet their needs, helping  them in their potential growth and offering financing opportunities.

Accessing funding is a key concern for SMEs. In 2012, European Commission has updated a guide on the subject, entitled "An overview of the main funding opportunities available to European SMEs". This guide aims to present the main European programs and contains succinct and well formulated information about specific funding opportunities, as well as the main websites for each program. The European  Small Business Portal is also a good starting point to have an overview of EU programs for SMEs. The portal gathers together all the information provided by the EU, about and for SMEs.
