ANO "National Priorities" presented an analytical report "Entrepreneurship: New Role and Competencies in the Russian Economy".

It contains the results of the national project "Small and Medium Entrepreneurship," as well as the directions of SME support until 2030.

Thus, in order to build a new model of economic growth, the role of the SME sector is changing: from a source of jobs to a driving force for the development of the Russian economy.

To achieve the objectives in the SME sector, the focus of state support is shifting from starting a business to its development and expansion.

Directions of state support for SMEs until 2030:

• Targeted support for SMEs in priority industries;

• Maintaining existing SME support programs;

• Creating conditions to increase the contribution of SMEs to the development of domestic technologies;

• Creating conditions for the consolidation of SME entities;

• Assisting self-employed individuals in creating micro-enterprises;

• Creating conditions for the transition from microbusiness to small and medium-sized businesses.
