The first one contains firm-level data and is used … to analyze how trust affects firm-level innovation in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The second data set is … used to analyze the trust-innovation relationship within regions. It allows us to capture innovation in the form of patents …

Digitalization is one of the main trends affecting firm-level innovation today. In this context, a better understanding … of the multidimensional relationship between digital technologies, competences and firm-level innovation is necessary …. For this purpose, this paper examines the role of digital transformation in the context of innovation activities of small …
