The survey being conducted by the National Documentation Centre (EKT) in co-operation with the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) to collect the official statistical data for Innovation in Greek enterprises for the 2014-2016 period is now underway.
The survey, which is using a sample of 6,000 enterprises, is part of the official EU Community Innovation Survey, which is carried out in all member states. It is of great importance as it documents the dynamics and the innovation potential of businesses in the country, as well as the needs and obstacles crucial to the sector’s competitiveness.
All enterprises which EKT has invited to participate in the survey are requested to complete the survey questionnaire promptly, so as to contribute to the reliable recording and production of official statistical indicators for a sector crucial to the country’s growth.
The National Documentation Centre recently published a special report, ‘Innovation in Greek Enterprises 2012-2014’ which contained the results of the previous survey. According to this study, the share of innovative enterprises in the country for 2012-2014 amounted to 51%, surpassing the corresponding European average (49.1%), putting Greece in 12th place among the 28 EU member states.
