Five policy recommendations for stronger regional economies
21 July 2026
How can regions help more micro-SMEs grow internationally?
The Blueprint concludes with five recommendations for policymakers:
📍 Make internationalisation a strategic priority.
📍 Integrate it into everyday business support services.
📍 Create funding for early internationalisation.
📍 Build city-to-city partnerships across borders.
📍 Establish regional support hubs that make business support easier to navigate.
Internationalisation isn’t only about exports.
It’s about creating stronger local economies that are more resilient, innovative and connected.
