We live in an era of rapid change, where technology, market trends, and consumer preferences evolve daily. In such conditions, small and medium-sized businesses must continually adapt, seek out new opportunities, and improve their strategies. In the new priority sectors of the economy, there is a particular emphasis on shifting from increasing quantity to improving quality. It is important not only to increase the number of small businesses, but also to strive to make them more efficient, productive, and innovative. What are the main priorities of SMEs and the state? How can a business ensure that it achieves its goals and becomes sustainable? What are the expectations of the business? Is the sectoral approach applicable to business development? What foreign examples can be used to enhance the role of SMEs in the economy?
