Promoting Enterprise Digitalisation in Azerbaijan
The COVID-19 crisis has given renewed urgency to efforts to support the digitalisation
of SMEs. However, many SMEs lag behind larger firms in the digital transition as a
result of important barriers with respect to skills, innovation, infrastructure, regulation
and finance. The SME digital gap slows productivity growth and increases inequalities
among people, firms and places. In this context, the Government of Azerbaijan requested
the OECD’s assistance in supporting the design and implementation of strategies and
policies to foster the digital transformation of Azerbaijan’s SME sector.
