Why your voice matters
Your insight can influence policy
SME Snapshot findings have already helped inform conversations Enginuity has held with policy makers — including with Skills England, with government departments including the Treasury, and with cross-party Parliamentarians.
SME Snapshot helps us to provide policymakers with a clearer understanding of the challenges facing engineering and manufacturing SMEs, and test how policy reforms are being experienced on the ground.

Looking back at previous SME Snapshot reports helps us understand how the experiences of engineering and manufacturing SMEs are changing over time.
By comparing findings across each edition, we can identify emerging challenges, track the impact of economic and policy changes, and build a stronger evidence base for conversations with policymakers.
