SME digitalisation for competitiveness: The 2025 OECD D4SME Survey

OECD

April 2025

The 2025 OECD D4SME Survey explores how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across ten OECD countries are leveraging digitalisation to boost competitiveness. It examines both the value SMEs gain and the barriers they face in adopting digital technologies. The report focuses on four key areas: AI adoption (including generative AI), digital tools for sustainability, fintech uptake, and digital security. It builds on the 2024 edition, offering updated insights to support effective policymaking.
