Activities in small enterprises

Statistics Denmark is experiencing an ever-increasing demand for more knowledge about small businesses, particularly in areas such as sustainability, innovation activities and digitalisation. A greater number of variables are replaced annually as a result of new technology and the development of user needs. The ongoing development of the content of the statistics takes place in close dialogue with users.

User Needs

There is general interest in the survey results from both ministries, interest organizations, researchers and journalists etc. The statistics are developed in collaboration with users and are subsidized by the Danish Business Authority in 2021 and 2022 and by the Danish Agency for Digital Government and by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science in 2023 and by the Danish Agency for Digital Government in 2024. In many cases, the statistics can also supplement existing other statistics on the same subjects, but which typically cover companies with at least 10 employees. An example is the statistics on companies' ICT use or the statistics on companies' activities within research and development. Data from the survey is also used for analyses, e.g. via access to micro-data through the Research Service, where data from this survey can be supplemented with other data from e.g. registers.

User Satisfaction

The ongoing development of the content of the statistics takes place in close dialogue with users. A formal assessment of the study, which started in 2021, has not yet been carried out.
