Kasvuyrittäjyyden ohjelma (sis. Mittelstandin)

TEM019:00/2024 Development

Kasvuyrittäjyyden ohjelmassa on tavoitteena laatia toimenpideohjelma keskisuurten ja midcap- yritysten ja kasvuyritysten lisäämiseksi. Em. yritysten merkitys Suomen kansantaloudelle on yritysten pieneen määrään nähden merkittävä ja lisäksi ne ovat potentiaalisia uudistujia, kestävästi kasvavia, verkostojen kasvattajia ja kansainvälistyjiä.

5.4.2024 – 22.5.2025 Kasvuyrittäjyyden ohjelma (sis. Mittelstand)

Reporting

Kasvuyrittäjyyden ohjelma on valmistunut ja julkaistu 22.5.2025. Ohjelma siirtyy toteutusvaiheeseen.

Goals and results

Ohjelman tavoitteena on tuplata keskisuurten ja pienten midcap-kasvuyritysten määrä vuoteen 2030 mennessä. Ohjelmalle on laadittu 12 seurantaindikattoria, joiden avulla seurataan kasvuyrittäjyyden kehitystä.

Starting points

Kasvuyrittäjyyden ohjelman lähtökohtana on hallitusohjelman kirjaus ”Talouden ja viennin kivijalkaa vahvistetaan sitoutumalla toimenpiteisiin, joilla tuplataan kasvuhakuisten keskisuurten yrittäjävetoisten yritysten (ns. mittelstand) määrä vuoteen 2030 mennessä”.

Additional information

  • Selvitys keskisuurten yritysten kasvusta
  • Kasvuyrittäjyyden ohjelma (sis. Mittelstand)

Tavoitteena on lisätä keskisuurten ja midcap- yritysten ja erityisesti kasvuyritysten määrää aktivoimalla yrityksiä TEM:n hallinnonalan toimijoiden toimenpiteillä sekä muilla ohjelmassa tunnistettavilla toimilla. Uudistuvat, kestävästi kasvavat, verkostoissa toimivat ja kansainvälistyvät yritykset tuovat arvonlisää ja työpaikkoja Suomeen. Kasvuyrittäjyyden kehitystä seurataan ohjelman indikaattoreilla.

Keskisuuret ja midcap -yritykset ovat tärkeitä työllistäjiä ja ne tuottavat taloudelle merkittävää arvonlisää. Suomeen tarvitaan myös lisää vientiyrityksiä, sillä viennin kivijalka on verrokkimaihimme nähden kapea. Useat em. yrityksistä ovat yrittäjien omistamia mittelstandeja, mikä saattaa tuoda erityistarpeita yrityksen kasvulle ja nämä tulee ottaa huomioon politiikkavalmistelussa. Ohjelmassa otetaan lisäksi huomioon pienet yritykset, joilla on potentiaalia kasvaa keskisuuriksi yrityksiksi. Ohjelman laatimiseksi asetettiin työryhmä keväällä 2024 ja lisäksi työryhmää päivitettiin syksyllä 2024.

Kasvuyrittäjyyden ohjelma julkaistiin 22.5.2025. Ohjelman toimeenpano on käynnistynyt 16.6.2025. Ohjelman toteutumista ja seurantaindikaattoreista raportoidaan vuosittain.
