Shaping the Future of Digital Enterprise: EU Launches SME Panel Survey

Introduction To A Pivotal Opportunity

The Enterprise Europe Network Cyprus, coordinated by the local chamber of commerce (Keve), has alerted Cypriot businesses to a significant opportunity. The initiative, part of the broader digitalisation agenda of the European Union, invites small and medium-sized enterprises to contribute to future digital policy design.

EU Commission Leads The Charge

Under the auspices of the European Commission, the SME Panel Digital Omnibus Survey 2025 has been launched to collect critical insights. The survey is intended to capture the digital challenges and prospects that businesses encounter, providing essential data to tailor forthcoming digital transformation policies.

Call For Active Participation

Christina Panayides, the Keve officer at Enterprise Europe Network Cyprus, emphasized the importance of this initiative. Cypriot businesses are encouraged to contribute their experiences and perspectives on digital tools, platforms, and technologies. Participants can access the survey at this link.

Impact On Policy And Business Dynamics

By sharing their insights, businesses will help pinpoint the digital obstacles and requirements crucial for successful digital transformation. The survey’s feedback will empower EU policymakers to devise targeted support measures that enhance competitiveness and innovation across the digital landscape.

Conclusion: Your Voice In The Digital Future

The survey is designed to be brief, straightforward, and ensures respondent confidentiality. It represents a unique avenue for business leaders to influence the future of EU digital policies, making each response a vital contribution to the evolving digital economy.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
