Information about the change
The statistics on enterprises’ research and development activities are published based on enterprise units starting from 2022. According to Statistics Finland’s definition, an enterprise is a unit with decision-making autonomy, which produces goods and/or services to be sold on the market.
An enterprise may comprise one or more legal units. In addition, the statistics still contain some group level units. Due to the minor effect of the change it does not cause a break in the time series. The change concerns only the enterprise sector. Previously, the units were legal unit and group.
