It is widely believed that digitization plays a positive role in the resilience, efficiency and growth of MYPES. But what is the evidence that supports that claim? What do we know about the positive and negative impacts of digitization or about initiatives that have no impact at all? This webinar covers Strive’s latest evidence map, a meta-analysis of existing research on the subject carried out by Caribou Digital, and joins the discussion on how these findings can inform our efforts to digitize MSEs in the future.
