This document summarizes a presentation given at an OECD conference on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their role in urban areas. It discusses trends in SME performance, opportunities and challenges facing SMEs in a digital global economy, and the importance of innovation. SMEs are a major driver of employment but often create low-paying jobs. While digitalization provides opportunities, many SMEs lag in adopting new technologies. Better data is still needed to understand links between SMEs, business environments, and policies. Overall SMEs will be key to achieving sustainable development goals through greening processes, local services, and innovation.

Objective: Build a common understanding of how the digital revolution transforms economies and societies, how the skills that people need in everyday life and in the workplace are changing, and which groups of the population are most at risk of being left behind
Manufacturing is changing at a rapid pace and Industrial Tech startups are popping up everywhere.
What do you need to benefit from these developments and to ride the wave of change in manufacturing.
The growing role of the digital economy in daily life has heightened demand for new data and measurement tools. “Measuring the Digital Economy: A New Perspective” provides an internationally comparable and timely snap-shot of the state of the Digital Economy covering key parameters including the build-out of the infrastructure, uptake and usage across different segments of the population, the importance of information and communication technologies as drivers of innovation and as a transformational force on jobs and skills. It is clear from this stocktaking that a number or critical thresholds have been crossed and the Digital Economy is now the economy. The pace of change described by the report underscores that the ICT revolution is far from being over, and policy makers need to be attentive to its impact on the economy and society. Given the complexity of the changes, the report identifies a number of gaps in the measurement framework and proposes actions to advance the measurement agenda.

Patrick Couch - Intelligenta Maskiner & Smartare Tjänster IBM Sverige
Industriföretag, såväl tillverkare som användare av maskiner, fordon och utrustning, står inför ett paradigmskifte drivet av ökad global konkurrens, kunders förändrade efterfrågan samt det faktum att produkterna nu blir instrumenterade, ihopkopplade och mer intelligenta. Stora datamängder är inte ett buzzword för dessa företag, utan en reell verklighet som de behöver förhålla sig till för att säkra sin framtida verksamhet. I bästa fall omvandlar dessa företag denna teknologiska revolution (populärt kallad Internet of Things, Industrial Internet, M2M, Industri 4.0 etc.) till en motor för att utveckla verksamheten mot tillväxt och effektivare produktion. Detta skifte skapar framförallt stora möjligheter att förflytta sig mot leveranser av tjänster som kraftigt ökar mervärdet för kunderna, deras kunders kunder samt för producenten.
PAC Webinar - The French IT market is changing. Are You?Nicolas Beyer
The situation on the French IT services market is tougher than ever. Even if the digitalization of the economy remains a long-term growth driver, the number of rationalization projects on back office, or global delivery models, including offshore capabilities, is on the decline in a very hard economic climate. However, the market provides plenty of opportunities for those suppliers able to offer innovative and value-based solutions.

FDI and Superstar Spillovers: Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Transactions
Mary AMITI (FED New York, United States)
Despite competition concerns over the increasing dominance of global corporations, many argue that productivity spillovers from multinationals to domestic firms justify pro-FDI policies. For the first time, we use firm-to-firm transaction data in a developed country to examine the impact of forming a new relationship with a multinational, and find a TFP increase of about 8% three or more years after the event. Sales to other buyers, trade and customer quality also increase. However, we also document that starting to supply other “superstar firms” such as those who heavily export or are very large also increases performance by similar amounts, even if the superstar is a non-multinational. Placebos on starting relationships with smaller firms and novel identification strategies relying solely on demand shocks to superstar firms support a causal interpretation. In addition to productivity spillovers, we document the transmission of “relationship capabilities” and “dating agency” effects as the increase in new buyers is particularly strong within the superstar firm’s existing network. These results suggest an important role for raising productivity through the supply chains of superstar firms regardless of their multinational status.

E-invoicing data for functional territories definition: the use case of pharmacies
Maria AURINDO (National Institute of Statistics, Portugal)
The presentation illustrates how a new Business-to-Consumer (B2C) database extracted from the Portuguese E-invoice system can be an important tool to explore the functional territories concept taking the pharmacies catchment areas as an example. The discussion addresses data integration methodological options and how Statistics Portugal infrastructural information domains – Business register, Building and fraction register and Population register – were crucial for this exercise, developed within the CE-SIG – Map of facilities and services project.

Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level - A...OECD CFE
Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level
Alessandro ALASIA, Dennis HUYNH (Statistics Canada)
In Canada, there is limited analysis on industry locations at the neighbourhood level; location and co-location of industries have been assessed primarily at the regional scale which results in an information gap for businesses. Recent evidence suggests that businesses do not just choose a city for their location, they choose specific business districts within a metropolitan area. Recent improvements in the geolocation of business microdata allow to address the information gap. This work, undertaken as part of the Business Data Lab and in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, is a first attempt to map industry locations at the neighbourhood level in major metropolitan areas of Canada. Using establishment-level microdata from the Business Register, we apply spatial kernel density estimations to identify neighbourhoods with high employment/revenue density for selected industries (2-digit NAICS) and industry clusters (grouping of 6-digits NAICS). The geographic delineation of business districts within metropolitan areas is the first step in understanding the evolution of industry location and co-location over time, and assessing local business dynamics at the neighbourhood level. Ultimately, these business districts can be analyzed in combination with additional data sources (e.g., mobility and road traffic) to derive further economic insights.

Advancing and democratizing business data in Canada- Patrick Gill & Stephen TappOECD CFE
Democratizing data through innovative data governance and visualizations
Patrick GILL, Stephen TAPP (Chambers of Commerce, Canada)
Small organizations in Canada struggle with accessing and leveraging data on business conditions and trends. These organizations have expressed difficulty in knowing what is available, accessing it and converting this information into actionable insights. To empower small organizations with more business-related information and insights, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has built a suite of free tools that merge and visualize traditional statistics with powerful high-frequency data sets (e.g. payments and mobility). This work is enabled by innovate data governance (e.g. a data trust) and a collaborative partnership with Statistics Canada. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is continuing work with Statistics Canada to release more local business information available through the agency’s Business Register (e.g. the mapping of local business districts), and is exploring how Generative AI can support small organizations’ navigation and understanding of the business information it has curated.

Horizon 2020 - research networks across borders - Rupert KawkaOECD CFE
Involvement of rural regions in European research networks
Rupert KAWKA, Torsten SCHUNDER (Federal Office for Building and regional Planning, Germany)
This study investigates the distribution of the European Union's Horizon 2020 funding programme on rural and urban regions between 2014 and 2020 and the resulting urban-rural links. Leveraging the Horizon 2020-database covering the 2014-20 programming period, which encompasses data on approximately 35,000 funded projects involving nearly 180,000 partners, the paper explores the participation of rural firms and organisations in the broader European research framework. By integrating the urban-rural classification of NUTS 3 regions, the research addresses key questions concerning the involvement of rural regions in Horizon 2020 projects, the structural differences in projects with and without rural participation, and the dynamics of urban-rural collaboration in research. The study further aims to identify potential clusters of rural innovation hubs across Europe and assess spatial disparities.

How can the social and solidarity economy help refugees along their journey?OECD CFE
Forcibly displaced people fleeing violent conflict and other forms of persecution find support from the social and solidarity economy (SSE) along their pathways, from their country of origin to asylum protection. The numbers are growing and new OECD work sheds light on how the specific values and characteristics of SSE entities provide high-quality responses to refugee needs and facilitate integration in host communities.
The SSE can support access to rights, empowerment, social and labour market inclusion of refugees. Join this webinar with the UNHCR, SINGA and NESsT Poland to discover how the SSE plays a role in the steps along the way of refugee’s journey.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

… Altering client behaviours and
production processes
• Greater product differentiation and
customer-centric business models and
enhanced customer experience (big data)
• Reducing distance and time to
markets (1st mover advantage, reactivity)
• Operating in integrated system of smart
supply chains and factories
• Open innovation with large firms
within business accelerators, innovation
labs, open sourcing.
• Data is the new gold. Data management
is strategic (capture, storage, protection,

19. SMEs could be the “weak” node in complex
systems
• World mobile broadband
subscriptions x5 in 8 years.
• New generation of 5G mobile
networks to come (optimised
data transfer).
• Smart cities: increasingly
integrated and automated
utility systems into hybrid
infrastructure (physical
+digital).
• SMEs are less likely to have
appropriate cybersecurity
and data protection
strategy.
Source: OECD Broadband and ICT Access and Usage by Businesses databases, 2018.
Hyperconnectivity increases
the vulnerability of digital
infrastructure
20. Better understanding the links btw SME sector structure,
performance, business environment and policies
• Increased need for granularity but significant data gaps
remain:
– Wages in services sectors
– Greater need for information on GVC participation and profile of
trading SMEs
– Take up of digital tools – and investment rates by SMEs
– Gender
– National versus subnational data
• Overcoming confidentiality constraints and business
burdens
Looking forward: the measurement challenges

22. For ex. SMEs can be key actors in the
transition towards a low-carbon economy
• Local actors with environmental
footprint => Greening of processes
and products
• Proximity: Circular economy,
health and healthcare services
• Agents in smart cities and smart
grids
• Key R&D actors in biotechnology ,
nanotech. and pharmaceuticals
