Since 2008, the “mid-sized company” label has gradually become a fixture in public economic debate. It has made it possible to:
Highlight the importance of mid-sized companies in the economy and their contribution to employment and investment in local areas;
Highlight France's shortage of ETIs compared to its main European neighbors, which is the main anomaly in our economic fabric. This observation is now unanimously shared;
Contribute to making the increase in the number of ETIs and the ambition of a “French-style Mittelstand” a new horizon for the country's economic policy;
