Abstract EN
The aim of this paper is to present the realistic solution to the survival problem that SMEs have during the economic crisis.
The role of SMEs is very important in the development of the regional and national economy of each country, particularly for small countries like Greece.
On the other hand, universities also play a significant role in the national economy, since they provide Know-How and important research in the SMEs.
Nevertheless, due to their small size and financial weakness, especially on the grounds of economic crisis, SMEs would not be able to cover on their own the cost of purchase of university research.
The author of this working paper suggests the collaboration of SMEs in the form of clusters so as to be able to self-fund and absorb university Know-How at the same time.
