About this Dataset
Denmark leads, with 42.0% of enterprises reporting use of at least one artificial intelligence technology against 5.2% in Romania. The panel average is 19.9%, +6.1pp on 2024, and 36.8 percentage points separate the top of the table from the bottom.
The survey counts a firm as an AI user if it has adopted any one of six listed technologies anywhere in the business. It measures how widely AI has been touched, not how deeply it has been embedded.
The ranking correlates strongly with prior digital adoption rather than with AI policy. Denmark, Finland and Sweden lead here and also lead Europe on cloud uptake; the countries at the bottom have the lowest cloud penetration too. Firm size matters as much as geography: large enterprises report adoption rates several times those of firms with ten to forty-nine employees in every country surveyed, so a national economy weighted toward small firms scores lower regardless of how capable its large companies are.
Every row is the figure published for 2025; no value is carried over from an adjacent year to fill a gap. The chart tracks a fixed panel of 31 countries: those reporting in every year from 2021. The line therefore moves because the countries moved, not because the sample changed. Eurostat first ran this module in 2021 and skipped 2022, so the chart covers four survey years rather than a continuous annual run.
