New politics. A new Europe. / A new economy that works for everyone

Support Small and Medium Enterprises

  • Introduce a Small Business Act for Europe which reserves 25% of public contracts on EU and national level for European SMEs and validates legislation and requirements on both levels not to be harmful to SMEs.

  • Simplify the public procurement process and reporting requirements for SMEs.

  • Prevent the use of European taxpayer-funded investment programmes in importing goods and services with critical strategic importance for the economic autonomy of the EU from outside the European Economic Area.

The 5+1 challenges

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
