The descriptive and experimental methods were used, using the VAR dynamic analysis model, during the period 2003-2019.

And results have shown that investments cease completely in the SME sector due to the weak level of competitiveness of these enterprises.

As for the return of some investments to its activity in other cases, the study demonstrated an increase in the size of its competitiveness due to field experience gained by its failure previously in other sectors, and the increase in the volume of new investments in small and medium enterprises leads to a relative increase in the levels of innovation in Algeria.
