September 26, 2024

The largest share of companies which in 2023 reached an extremely high digital intensity level (DII) was found in Finland (13%), Malta (11.4%) and the Netherlands (11%), while Romania and Bulgaria ranked last in EU, in the conditions in which most enterprizes had a very low index level (72.1% and 70,6%), according to data released by Eurostat.   Last year, 59% of EU companies reached at least a basic digital intensity level, which supposes the use of at least four out of 12 digital technologies selected, such as AI or electronic trade sales which represent at least 1% of the overall business figure. A basic level includes business with a low, high and very high DII, excluding the extremely low level.   In the case of small companies in EU, 58% reached a basic DII level, against 91% in the case of big companies.   However, only 4.4% of small EU companies have a very high DII level, while 19.6% has a high level. Most small companies in EU record a low DII (33.8%) or a very low one (42.3%).   According to these figures, in 2023 small companies in EU were at a distance of 32% versus the ambitious target foreseen in the digital strategy for 2030. The EU objective is that 90% of small companies shouldreach at least a basic DII level by 2030.
