The study provides an insight into the activities of small and medium-sized companies in the DACH region in the period from March to May 2020. SMEs, in all their diversity, have passed their biggest test triggered by a small virus - so far: pragmatic, disciplined and creative. Better said: co-creative and cooperative. Many have experienced this themselves and this small study reflects this. It shows what was responsible for this: which attitude, which measures, which skills. It also shows the perspectives, considerations and questions with which SMEs are approaching the next stage. Securing the future of SMEs - this task has just begun.
