Answer:
At the first OECD Conference of Ministers responsible for SMEs, hosted by the Italian
government in Bologna, Italy, in June 2000, Ministers from nearly 50 member and non-member economies
adopted the “Bologna Charter for SME Policies”. They envisaged the Bologna Conference as the start of a
policy dialogue among OECD Member countries and non-Member economies and that it would be
followed up by a continuous monitoring of progress with the implementation of the Bologna Charter. This
dialogue and monitoring have become known as the “OECD Bologna Process”. The second OECD
Conference of Ministers Responsible for SMEs, hosted by the Turkish Ministry for Industry and Trade,
envisaged by Ministers at Bologna, provides an occasion to assess the impact on SMEs of new
developments relating to globalisation.
This report is one of ten background reports prepared for the Istanbul Ministerial Conference, the
theme of each of the ten reports being linked to a specific Workshop of the Ministerial Conference. Several
earlier versions of the report were reviewed by the Working Party on SMEs and Entrepreneurship whose
comments have been incorporated into the final version. Non member economies participating in the
OECD Bologna Process have also had an opportunity to provide comments. This final report also sets out
some policy messages and recommendations that have emerged from the preparatory work undertaken in
the OECD Working Party for SMEs and Entrepreneurship. The wide variation in stages of economic
development, institutional arrangements and political context across the economies participating in the
Bologna Process, now more than 80, means that not all parts of specific policies and programmes are
appropriate for all participants. The messages and recommendations outlined below provide material from
which governments may choose to draw in promoting innovative SMEs in the global economy. In broad
terms, these policy messages and recommendations elaborate on the themes developed in the Bologna
Charter. Ministers will consider these and other recommendations in their deliberations at the Istanbul
Conference.
