The report explores the degree of digitalisation in SMEs in the EU, including the adoption of digital technologies, e-commerce and e-business practices. It also examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on SMEs' digitalisation and identifies key challenges, including lack of infrastructure, financing and digital skills. In addition, the report reviews policy frameworks and support measures related to digitalisation and the development of digital skills in SMEs. Furthermore, it presents an empirical analysis of how digital technology use is related to job quality at the workplace level."
