Abstract: In the paper authors show and compare the SME sector development in Croatia and EU. They emphasize the problems of development and analyze measures and actions for promoting SME and entrepreneurship development. Special accent is on the special EU programs assigned to increase the SME competitiveness. CIP programs for innovation promoting and the Seventh Framework Research Program for research promoting are emphasized. Authors conclude that SME sector in Croatia has achieved dynamic development and high share in employment and export, but there is a need to remove obstacles on the domestic market, and, at the same time, to begin to intensify activity for participation on Single European Market.
