About Meeting Standards
Empowering SMEs through standardisation
Meeting Standards is a European initiative dedicated to helping Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises(SMEs) understand and benefit from standardisation.
Our goal is to:
- Increase awareness: Educate SMEs about the importance of standardisation and its impact on their businesses.
- Foster engagement: Encourage SME participation in the standards development process.
- Share knowledge: Keep SMEs informed about the latest standardisation developments relevant to their industries.
- Build community: Connect SMEs and standardisation organisations across Europe.
How it works
Our annual campaign, held once a year for one week, features a variety of events organised by standardisation bodies and SME organisations throughout Europe. These events provide opportunities for SMEs to learn, network, and contribute to shaping industry standards.
