The activity of the MVA promotes and supports the presence of the SMEs in the Single European Market, mobilises reserves of economic growth, helps the creation of new jobs and alleviates regional economic inequalities. Programmes of the MVA are of nationwide scope and are aimed primarily at regions, counties or, in some cases, micro-regions. Major partners are the Local Enterprise Agencies (LEAs) and the enterprise promotion foundations some of which were established in the '90s by the MVA itself.
