Abstract

This report explores the main characteristics of Basque SMEs with respect to innovation, aiming to better understand why the Basque Country ranks worse in some SME innovation indicators
compared to the EU-27 and Germany. Using data from Eustat and Eurostat innovation surveys, descriptive analyses are presented on various aspects of innovation in SMEs in the Basque
Country and comparison territories. These analyses are complemented by examining the interrelationships between indicators (correlations and regressions) using Eustat microdata. Finally, the report concludes by presenting the main findings from the study and offering some reflections based on these results.
