The SME & Clusters Assembly 2026 will take place from 2–4 March in Dublin, Ireland, organised by the European Commission and hosted by the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
For the first time, the 2026 edition brings together the SME Assembly and the European Cluster Conference into a single flagship event, reflecting a more integrated vision of Europe's enterprise and industrial ecosystem. Through high-level panels, expert roundtables and dedicated networking, the Assembly will convene policymakers, business leaders, cluster managers, enterprise promoters and the wider SME community to address shared priorities — from competitiveness, skills and innovation to the green and digital transitions.
