Small and Medium Sized Companies – Strategies for Survival and Recovery in the Age of COVID-19
Day: Tuesday 13 October
Time: 14:50 – 15:30 CEST
COVID-19 is causing severe disruption to the global economy and has caused significant long-term damage in the aerospace industry. The virus’ impact has not been uniform in either its impact on the various industry sectors or on companies of varying size. New start-ups and other small and medium sized enterprises will likely be disproportionately influenced by the pandemic. This panel will examine a broad range of issues, including:
- A practical assessment of the financial strategies and practices of SMEs, with particular focus on key start-ups, that are allowing companies to weather the economic storm
- A review of some of the companies that were unable to survive the economic disruption along with an analysis of the structural weaknesses that may have contributed to their demise
- A review of both successful and unsuccessful strategies and market supports deployed by governments during the pandemic
- An assessment of the current marketplace and the identification of key opportunities for growth and expansion
The panel will include company CEO’s, leading financial advisers and global economists.
